About our facade sealing in Bitterne Manor
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. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are old perimeter mastic that has dried out and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Bitterne Manor is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around places like Bitterne Manor, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Questions about Bitterne Manor
Our building in Bitterne Manor is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work at a site such as Bitterne Business Centre, by Bitterne Manor?
Yes, sites like Bitterne Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Bitterne Manor. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we’ll price the work around it.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

What else we do in Bitterne Manor
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Why act early in Bitterne Manor
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. What matters most for a job in Bitterne Manor is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
New build and refits around Bitterne Manor
With the shore within about 2 miles, Bitterne Manor counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Central London is about 69 miles from Bitterne Manor. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Bitterne Business Centre (less than half a mile east of Bitterne Manor), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For a contractor at a hotel such as Bitterne Park Hotel, 0.5 miles north-east of Bitterne Manor, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Further education sites such as Southampton City College, 1.2 miles south-west of Bitterne Manor, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
