Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building around Frostlane, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
About our facade sealing in Frostlane
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can help, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters alike. Whoever orders the work in Frostlane, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Frostlane, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
When to call us in Frostlane
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Draughts around frames and panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Fountain Court Hotel, under half a mile west of Frostlane, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What your quote should include

- Proof of insurance
What affects the price in Frostlane
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Frostlane
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Questions we’re asked in Frostlane
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Southampton Solent University?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Our building in Frostlane is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
General trades versus 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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Contractors’ notes for Frostlane
With the shore within about 1 mile, Frostlane counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Frostlane is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Extensions at sites like Hythe Hospital, 0.6 miles north-west of Frostlane, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hardley Industrial Estate, 1 mile to the south of Frostlane, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Frostlane is about 1 mile south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Frostlane for work on facade joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, large and small.
