Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Boarhunt are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

About our facade sealing in Boarhunt
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you are dealing with draughts around frames and panels and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Boarhunt, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Boarhunt is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: 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.

New build and refits around Boarhunt
With the shore within about 2 miles, Boarhunt 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, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Boarhunt has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
School extensions, at buildings such as Cams Hill School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Further education sites such as Fareham College, 2.9 miles to the south-west of Boarhunt, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Boarhunt is about 3 miles north-east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Boarhunt can call on us for facade joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Around Boarhunt
For rail, the closest station is Portchester station, about 1.6 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Fareham Shopping Centre (2 miles south-west) and Portchester Castle (2.5 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Portsdown Hill and St Clair's Meadow.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Boarhunt
Boarhunt: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Spurlings Industrial Estate, by Boarhunt?
Yes. We cover Boarhunt and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Spurlings Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can being near the sea in Boarhunt affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Do you need facade sealing in Boarhunt?
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
When units on a site such as Spurlings Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south-west of Boarhunt, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
