How we handle facade sealing in Durrants
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you are dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Durrants start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Durrants 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.

FAQs: Durrants
Can being near the sea in Durrants affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is a smaller place like Durrants outside your area?
No. Places such as Durrants are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
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.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For work around Durrants, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
New build and refits around Durrants
Durrants sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Durrants lies roughly 57 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
When a school such as Havant Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Dunsbury Hill Business Park, which lies west of Durrants, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Common problems we fix in Durrants
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Extensions at sites like Spire Hospital Portsmouth (to the south-east of Durrants) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Older rural buildings around Durrants move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
