Facade sealing near Fulbrook

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

Keeping the joints sound

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:

  • Combine resealing with other works that need access
  • Investigate damp beside windows promptly
  • Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
  • Record the product and colour used on each elevation

Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.

Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.

How we handle facade sealing in Fulbrook

Managing agents and owners in Fulbrook 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. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is air leaks through failed facade joints and water coming in around window frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Fulbrook it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

For a site near Fulbrook, 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.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface

Brick and stone facades

Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.

Precast concrete panels

Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.

When to call us in Fulbrook

Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.

If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:

  • Previous reseals run over old sealant
  • Failed sealant on precast panel joints
  • Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
  • Discoloured or dirty facade joints

For contractors at a school such as Burford Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

What to look for in a quote

Our contractor checklist

What sealant work can’t fix

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Installing or repairing glazing systems
  • Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
  • Damp caused by condensation inside the building

Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Shopfront frames
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Stone and brick facade joints

There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Fulbrook. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Fulbrook is about 69 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.

Historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall, 4.2 miles to the east of Fulbrook, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For a contractor at a hotel such as Corner House Hotel, 0.7 miles to the south-west of Fulbrook, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Questions about Fulbrook

What documents will you need to give us for a job in Fulbrook?

We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.

Is Fulbrook too far out for you?

No. Places such as Fulbrook are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.

Is it okay to overlay old mastic?

No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.

How many days will you need on site?

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

Can you handle several sites?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.

Commercial clients in Fulbrook

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
