Facade sealing for Blackhill sites

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

What affects the price in Blackhill

These are the things that shape the price:

  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Removal of failed or old sealant
  • Joint width, depth and condition

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.

Details that help us quote

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:

  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • Your programme or deadline

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Blackhill

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. If you are dealing with staining on stone next to old sealant and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Blackhill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.

In the countryside around places like Blackhill, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Mastic packages on Blackhill sites

Rainfall across the South East, Blackhill 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, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.

New units and refits on sites such as Shelley Farm Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the east of Blackhill, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. On a healthcare site such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital, which lies south-east of Blackhill, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors at a school such as Wellow School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Blackhill is about 4 miles north-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Across the SO51 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Blackhill is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire for facade joints. Southampton is covered too, some 8 miles away.

We take on facade joints across the SO51 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Sites close to Blackhill are covered too, including East Wellow (1 mile north-east), Canada (1 mile west), West Wellow (1 mile north-west), Wigley (2 miles south-east) and Newbridge (2 miles south). Nearby towns on our patch include Winchester (13 miles north-east), Eastleigh (10 miles east), Totton (4 miles south-east), Chandler's Ford (8 miles east), Hedge End (12 miles east) and Lymington (14 miles south).

Blackhill: questions and answers

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Tatchbury Mount Hospital?

Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Is Blackhill too far out for you?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Can you send site paperwork?

Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.

Does the weather affect the work?

For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Who decides which product is used?

The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

Is colour matching possible?

That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Will you quote for a small job?

Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Commercial clients in Blackhill

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

What happens if it’s left?

Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Converted and older buildings near places like Blackhill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Why clients in Blackhill choose us

  • Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
  • A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Diagnose, treat, sign off

At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Blackhill, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
  2. The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
  3. Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
  4. Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
  5. The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
  6. We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.

Preparing the site

  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Flag any permit to work we will need
  • Send your site hours and access windows

Related advice

General trades versus a specialist

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

When it isn’t the sealant

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:

  • Installing or repairing glazing systems
  • Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
  • Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
