Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

How we handle facade sealing in Hillyfields
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Most enquiries involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and damp patches beside frames after rain, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Hillyfields it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Building work in places the size of Hillyfields is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Hillyfields: questions and answers
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Southampton for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Nursling Retail Park, near Hillyfields, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Hillyfields and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Nursling Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
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.
Do you work in Hillyfields?
Yes. We take on work across Hillyfields.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hillyfields
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Surface by surface
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.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Hillyfields need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
What we’re called out for in Hillyfields
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Nursling Retail Park, less than half a mile to the west of Hillyfields, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Building and refurbishing in Hillyfields
Hillyfields lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The area within 2 miles of Hillyfields holds a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
When a college such as Totton College, 2 miles south-west of Hillyfields, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Anchor Hotel (1 mile south of Hillyfields), usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
