Heathfield: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Fareham Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as Fareham College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Facade sealing in Heathfield, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Heathfield it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around places like Heathfield, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Heathfield
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. For buildings in places like Heathfield, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Heathfield
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Further education sites such as Fareham College (0.6 miles east of Heathfield) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
What your quote should include

- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.

Contractors’ notes for Heathfield
With the shore within about 3 miles, Heathfield counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Heathfield. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Blackbrook Business Park, 0.5 miles to the north-east of Heathfield, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Bugle Hotel, 0.9 miles west of Heathfield, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
