Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Facade sealing in Wokingham
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you are dealing with previous reseals run over old sealant and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Wokingham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
A large place such as Wokingham usually has building going on somewhere: housing, schools, healthcare and commercial schemes. For main contractors and developers, the mastic package covers window and door perimeters, facade and cladding joints, and internal sealant where it’s specified.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wokingham
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. On a busy site in a large place like Wokingham, a failed joint gets worse with every day of use. Catching it early keeps the fix simple.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Advice
Cost factors for facade joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Questions about Wokingham
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wokingham Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Station Industrial Estate, by Wokingham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Wokingham, Station Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

A 2-mile radius around Wokingham takes in a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. At about 33 miles from central London, Wokingham is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
On a campus such as University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus, which lies north-west of Wokingham, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. When a school such as Walter Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New wings at hospitals like Wokingham Hospital (under half a mile east of Wokingham) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
