About our facade sealing in Hillstreet
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant peeling off old mastic and cold air coming in at window perimeters, across shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Hillstreet start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like Hillstreet can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
What we are called out for in Hillstreet
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
When a school such as Calmore Junior School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Hillstreet: questions and answers
Does a coastal location like Hillstreet affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is South Hampshire Industrial Park, near Hillstreet, within your area?
Yes, sites like South Hampshire Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hillstreet. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
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 will confirm them with the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Building and refurbishing in Hillstreet
Hillstreet lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Hillstreet is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
When a college such as Totton College, 1.6 miles to the south of Hillstreet, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. Extensions at sites like Tatchbury Mount Hospital (to the south-west of Hillstreet) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
