About our facade sealing in Eling
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is air leaks through failed facade joints and facade joints cracked through the middle. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Eling tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around places like Eling, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Share access with other external trades
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
What else we do in Eling
Contractors’ notes for Eling
With the shore within about 1 mile, Eling counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Station Hotel (under half a mile north-east of Eling), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When units on a site such as Brokenford Business Park, less than half a mile to the north-west of Eling, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Eling is about 1 mile south-east of Totton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO40, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Eling is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list.

FAQs: Eling
Can work at a site such as Southampton Solent University fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Brokenford Business Park, near Eling, within your area?
Yes. We cover Eling and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Brokenford Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you cover Eling?
Yes. We cover Eling, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
When to call us in Eling
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Projects at colleges like Totton College (to the north-west of Eling) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
When to bring in a specialist
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For a job in Eling, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We start with photos, 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.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
