When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
How we handle facade sealing in Hensting
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. Site teams most often ask us about draughts around frames and panels and previous reseals run over old sealant, across shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hensting it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Hensting is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Questions we are asked in Hensting
Will you take on work at estates like Wessex Business Park, close to Hensting?
Yes, sites like Wessex Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hensting. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Wessex Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Why deal with it now?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Around Hensting, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Why us?
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Mastic packages on Hensting sites
At about 62 miles from central London, Hensting is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Hensting sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Marwell Hotel, 0.7 miles to the south of Hensting, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Extensions at sites like Wessex Hospital (to the west of Hensting) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. On a campus such as University of Winchester, 4.5 miles to the north of Hensting, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.
Hensting is about 3 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Across the SO50 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Smaller jobs around Hensting can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
