Common questions from Chilworth clients
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Southampton for the vacation?

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Princess Anne Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.
About our facade sealing in Chilworth
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames after rain and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Chilworth tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Chilworth 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Chilworth, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- 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.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Around Chilworth, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm 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.
Building and refurbishing in Chilworth
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Chilworth. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Rainfall across the South East, Chilworth included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Units on estates such as University of Southampton Science Park (to the west of Chilworth) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor at a hotel such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Southampton, which lies south-east of Chilworth, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On a healthcare site such as Princess Anne Hospital, which lies south-west of Chilworth, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Chilworth is about 2 miles south-west of Chandler's Ford, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Chilworth is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, large and small.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
