How we handle facade sealing in Eastleigh
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you are dealing with facade joints cracked through the middle and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Eastleigh is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Developers and contractors working in Eastleigh want mastic that keeps pace with the build: perimeters sealed before scaffold is struck, internal sealant after decoration, snags before handover. Tell us the programme and we’ll quote to it.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.
Facades, frames and programmes in Eastleigh
Eastleigh is about 65 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Eastleigh sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors at a school such as Norwood Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Extensions at sites like Wessex Hospital (2.1 miles north of Eastleigh) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Town-centre premises in Eastleigh may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. On estates and business parks it’s normally simpler.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Cost factors for facade joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Eastleigh: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Wessex Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Barton Park Industrial Estate, near Eastleigh?
Yes, sites like Barton Park Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Eastleigh. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Many buildings in towns like Eastleigh have been extended or altered, and joints where old meets new tend to fail first. Renewing them before water gets in protects the fabric.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When to call us in Eastleigh
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When units on a site such as Barton Park Industrial Estate (under half a mile north-west of Eastleigh) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
