Facade sealing in Cadnam, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and cold air coming in at window perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Cadnam, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Cadnam is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

New build and refits around Cadnam
A 2-mile radius around Cadnam takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Cadnam 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.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Bartley Lodge Hotel (less than half a mile south of Cadnam), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Older buildings in the area around Cadnam, such as Landford Manor, 4.6 miles to the north-west of Cadnam, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Signs you need facade sealing in Cadnam
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Patch repairs that keep failing
New units and refits on sites such as Mortimer Trading Estate, 2.4 miles to the north-east of Cadnam, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work 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. If others near Cadnam need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
