Facades, frames and programmes in Drayton
Drayton is within about 1 mile of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Drayton lies roughly 61 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Queen Alexandra Hospital, which lies west of Drayton, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Railway Triangle Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles south-west of Drayton, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hotels like Village Hotel, 1.4 miles west of Drayton, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Drayton is about 2 miles south of Purbrook, in Portsmouth. We cover commercial sites throughout Drayton, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 19 places in Portsmouth, from busy centres to rural villages.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Drayton
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Drayton is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Drayton, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Drayton
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Questions about Drayton
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Alexandra Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Drayton too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
