What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
How we handle facade sealing in Woolstone
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you’re dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Woolstone start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Woolstone bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Share access with other external trades
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- 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.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.

What else we do in Woolstone
Signs you need facade sealing in Woolstone
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Look out for the following:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
For contractors at a school such as Uffington Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Questions about Woolstone
Can you keep pace with our programme in Woolstone?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Woolstone too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access, and we will agree the approach together.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Facades, frames and programmes in Woolstone
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 64 miles from Woolstone. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Older buildings in the area around Woolstone, such as Ashdown House, 3.7 miles south of Woolstone, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. On a healthcare site such as Faringdon Day Hospital, which lies north of Woolstone, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Woolstone, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
