How we handle facade sealing in Fishbourne
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is new sealant peeling off old mastic and cladding panel joints that have opened up. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Fishbourne, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Fishbourne can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Fishbourne as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about Fishbourne
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Mary's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Fishbourne outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.

Facade sealing around Fishbourne: points for this area
Fishbourne is within about 2 miles of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Fishbourne is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like Wootton Community Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. With historic properties like Osborne House, 2.8 miles north-west of Fishbourne, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Fishbourne is about 2 miles west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Fishbourne, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Fishbourne is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight on our list. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, about 8 miles away.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout PO33, for business premises of every kind. If your site is on Kite Hill, Ashlake Farm Lane and Ashlake Copse Road or close by, we can quote for facade joints. Being close to the B3331, Fishbourne is easy to get to with materials and equipment.

Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.

What we are called out for in Fishbourne
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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
New units and refits on sites such as Wootton Business Park, 1.9 miles to the south-west of Fishbourne, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
- How they’ll work around occupants
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
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. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Fishbourne, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open

Quoting for work in Fishbourne
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What happens if it’s left?
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Fishbourne. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why us?
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Clear, fixed quotes
- One contact handling all your sites
- Failed material removed, not covered up
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
