Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Facade sealing in Fordingbridge, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Fordingbridge ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Fordingbridge tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions around smaller places like Fordingbridge often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Building and refurbishing in Fordingbridge
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
New wings at hospitals like Fordingbridge Hospital (under half a mile south of Fordingbridge) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When a school such as Fordingbridge Junior School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New units and refits on sites such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, less than half a mile north of Fordingbridge, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Is Fordingbridge off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you work on upper floors?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we will price the work around it.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Work in places the size of Fordingbridge is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
