Facade sealing in Andover, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Most enquiries involve weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and draughts around frames and panels, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Andover, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in a town such as Andover is often smaller schemes: a few new flats, a school extension, a refurbished unit. The perimeter and facade joints on a small scheme need the same sizing and preparation as on a big one.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Sites and facades in and around Andover
Central London is about 63 miles from Andover. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Andover is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Work at a hotel such as The Globe Hotel (less than half a mile south-east of Andover) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Northern Avenue Retail Park, under half a mile to the north-east of Andover, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Andover: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Northern Avenue Retail Park, close to Andover?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Andover, Northern Avenue Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as Andover Hospital (Grounds) somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Signs you need facade sealing in Andover
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
For contractors at a school such as St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If you have more than one building in Andover, they can often be done on the same visit, with one quote covering them. Tell us when the building is open and we’ll plan to suit.
- 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.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
