Facade sealing in Hillborough, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you’re dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can help, on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hillborough, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
On a small site around Hillborough, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Questions about Hillborough
Does the sea air around Hillborough change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Mastic packages on Hillborough sites
Hillborough sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Hillborough lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, 1.2 miles to the west of Hillborough, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors at a school such as Reculver Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New units and refits on sites such as Eddington Business Park, 2.1 miles west of Hillborough, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

What else we do in Hillborough
Why act early in Hillborough
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- A fixed quote before work starts
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Fully insured

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
