Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Facade sealing in Abshot
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cold air coming in at window perimeters and staining on stone next to old sealant. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Abshot? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places like Abshot, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

When to call us in Abshot
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
New wings at hospitals like Fareham Community Hospital, 1.7 miles to the north of Abshot, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For work around Abshot, 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 photos, 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. Around Abshot, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Fully insured
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.

Mastic packages on Abshot sites
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Abshot. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. A 2-mile radius around Abshot takes in a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Further education sites such as Fareham College (to the east of Abshot) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Kite's Croft Business Park, 1 mile to the north-east of Abshot, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Questions about Abshot
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Fareham College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Our building in Abshot is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll plan the work with you.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
