How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. What matters most for a job in Woosehill is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.

Facade sealing in Woosehill
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. Most enquiries involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and patch repairs that keep failing, on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Woosehill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Building work in places the size of Woosehill is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Wokingham. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Do you need facade sealing in Woosehill?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Units on estates such as Station Industrial Estate (0.7 miles east of Woosehill) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Common questions from Woosehill clients
Is Woosehill too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Station Industrial Estate, near Woosehill, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Woosehill, Station Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Contractors’ notes for Woosehill
Woosehill is about 33 miles from central London. 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. Woosehill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
University estates such as University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus, 4.2 miles north-west of Woosehill, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Cantley House Hotel (1.1 miles north-east of Woosehill), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by 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.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
