Questions about Brockenhurst
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work at a site such as Brockenhurst College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Facade sealing in Brockenhurst
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you have previous reseals run over old sealant and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can help, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints alike. Most enquiries from Brockenhurst 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.
Building work in places the size of Brockenhurst is normally small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.

Advice
Signs you need facade sealing in Brockenhurst
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Further education sites such as Brockenhurst College (0.5 miles east of Brockenhurst) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their public liability cover

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
Facade sealing around Brockenhurst: how the place shapes the job
Brockenhurst is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. A 2-mile radius around Brockenhurst takes in plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Extensions at sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital, 3.8 miles to the south of Brockenhurst, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Work at a hotel such as Thatched Cottage Hotel (to the east of Brockenhurst) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Should maintenance staff do it?

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
