About our facade sealing in Ashurst Bridge
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve patch repairs that keep failing and facade joints cracked through the middle, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ashurst Bridge? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like Ashurst Bridge, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
What happens if it’s left?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Around Ashurst Bridge, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like Southampton Solent University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Tatchbury Mount Hospital, something you do?
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
How many days will you need on site?
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.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

Signs you need facade sealing in Ashurst Bridge
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Hospital estates such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital (to the north-west of Ashurst Bridge) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Mastic packages on Ashurst Bridge sites
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Ashurst Bridge. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Rainfall across the South East, Ashurst Bridge included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
School extensions, at buildings such as Hazel Wood Infant School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When a college such as Totton College (to the north-east of Ashurst Bridge) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
