Facade sealing in Colwell
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Most enquiries involve facade joints cracked through the middle and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Colwell? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Colwell 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
FAQs: Colwell
Would you work within a site like Lymington New Forest 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.
Is Colwell off your patch?
Not at all. Colwell is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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, as the specification or substrate requires.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Colwell need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Signs you need facade sealing in Colwell
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Look out for the following:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
School extensions, at buildings such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Facade sealing around Colwell: points for this area
Colwell sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Rainfall across the South East, Colwell included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
On a healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital, which lies north of Colwell, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
