Advice
Facade sealing in Balmerlawn
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are facade joints cracked through the middle and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. Most enquiries from Balmerlawn start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Balmerlawn, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in Balmerlawn
What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Halls, stores and units around places like Balmerlawn may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Balmerlawn can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
Facades, frames and programmes in Balmerlawn
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. The area within 2 miles of Balmerlawn holds plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hotels like Balmer Lawn Hotel (under half a mile west of Balmerlawn) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. When a school such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Older buildings in the area around Balmerlawn, such as Beaulieu Palace House, 4.9 miles east of Balmerlawn, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Brockenhurst College fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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. Internal work is far less affected.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
