What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Hordle
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames after rain and cold air coming in at window perimeters.

Around places like Hordle, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When to call us in Hordle
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Older buildings in the area around Hordle, such as Highcliffe Castle, 4.4 miles west of Hordle, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Before you book anyone
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Proof of insurance
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Work in places the size of Hordle is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Mastic packages on Hordle sites
Hordle is within about 2 miles of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Hordle sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When units on a site such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, 2.3 miles to the west of Hordle, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at schools like Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Hordle is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Hordle is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, including Hordle. We also cover Southampton, some 15 miles away.
Commercial sites across SO41 are covered for facade joints. For a building on Yerville Gardens, Acacia Road and Woodlands or nearby, we can quote for facade joints. We also cover Downton (1 mile south), Leagreen (1 mile south), Ashley (1 mile west), Tiptoe (2 miles north) and New Milton (2 miles west). Nearby towns on our patch include Totton (12 miles north-east), Lymington (3 miles east), Hythe (12 miles north-east), Ringwood (9 miles north-west), Dibden Purlieu (11 miles north-east) and Marchwood (12 miles north-east).
Near you in Hordle
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Arnewood School, among other places. The nearest railway station is New Milton station, roughly 1.7 miles west. A little further out are Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (2.4 miles west) and Highcliffe Castle (4.4 miles west). For a walk, there’s Milford on Sea LNR.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Other services in Hordle
Your questions answered
Is Hordle too far out for you?
No. Places such as Hordle are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lymington New Forest Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you install glazing systems?
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.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
