Facade sealing in Bartley: the local picture
Bartley is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Bartley. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Bartley Lodge Hotel (0.8 miles west of Bartley), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Extensions at sites like Tatchbury Mount Hospital (to the north-east of Bartley) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. School extensions, at buildings such as Bartley Church of England Junior School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Facade sealing in Bartley
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. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are air leaks through failed facade joints and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Bartley, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Bartley, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Why act early in Bartley
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Converted and older buildings near places like Bartley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Providing access systems for the work
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Bartley: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Tatchbury Mount Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Totton College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Bartley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
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.
