How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Hiltingbury
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. Site teams most often ask us about draughts around frames and panels and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Hiltingbury, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around places like Hiltingbury, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Common questions from Hiltingbury clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Southampton?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Hiltingbury too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Hiltingbury are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
New build and refits around Hiltingbury
A 2-mile radius around Hiltingbury takes in several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
On a campus such as University of Southampton (4.9 miles south of Hiltingbury), new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. Units on estates such as Omega Enterprise Park, 1.1 miles south of Hiltingbury, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. On a healthcare site such as Wessex Hospital, 1.1 miles east of Hiltingbury, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

What else we do in Hiltingbury
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. What matters most for a job in Hiltingbury is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Point out any areas we must not close
