Facade sealing in Dibden Purlieu, done properly
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Site teams most often ask us about unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dibden Purlieu tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Dibden Purlieu, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Questions we’re asked in Dibden Purlieu
Is Dibden Purlieu too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Dibden Purlieu are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as Hythe Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Facade sealing around Dibden Purlieu: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Dibden Purlieu. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Rainfall across the South East, Dibden Purlieu included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Hardley Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Dibden Purlieu, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hospital estates such as Hythe Hospital (0.5 miles north-east of Dibden Purlieu) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

What affects the price in Dibden Purlieu
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

When to call us in Dibden Purlieu
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
For contractors at a college like Totton College Waterside Centre, which lies south of Dibden Purlieu, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their public liability cover
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Why act early in Dibden Purlieu
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. For buildings in places like Dibden Purlieu, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a job in Dibden Purlieu, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached

When to bring in a specialist
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. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
