Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Facade sealing in Fleet
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. Site teams most often ask us about facade joints cracked through the middle and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Fleet is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Older town-centre buildings in places like Fleet are often converted to new uses or extended, which puts new frames and panels against old brick, stone or render. Those junctions need a sealant and primer that suit both surfaces.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Fleet are worth mentioning when you send details. On estates and business parks it’s usually simpler.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Common problems we fix in Fleet
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Water coming in around window frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hart Shopping Centre, 0.5 miles to the north of Fleet, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
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.
Facade sealing in Fleet: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Fleet lies roughly 36 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Lismoyne Hotel, 0.8 miles to the north-west of Fleet, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Building work at universities like University for the Creative Arts (4.2 miles south of Fleet) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Fleet is about 13 miles south-east of Reading, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Fleet use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Hampshire. Fleet is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list. Reading is covered too, around 13 miles from Fleet.
We take on facade joints across the GU51, GU52 and GU10 postcode area, for business premises of every kind.

Local landmarks in Fleet
In Fleet, that means premises near Court Moor School, The Prince of Wales pub and School and the streets around them. The closest station to Fleet is Fleet station, about 1.2 miles north. A little further out are Royal Army Dental Corps Historical Museum (3.9 miles east) and Fleet Community Hospital (1 mile north-west). Not far away are Fleet Pond Nature Reserve and Hitches Hill.
Why act early in Fleet
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
