Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Fareham Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does the sea air around Hound change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you work in Hound?
Yes. Hound falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Facade sealing in Hound
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are previous reseals run over old sealant and water coming in around window frames. Searching for sealant specialists in Hound? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For work around Hound, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Older rural buildings around Hound move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Contractors’ notes for Hound
Hound is within about 1 mile of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Hound is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
School extensions, at buildings such as The Hamble School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When a college such as Itchen College (2.5 miles north of Hound) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. On a healthcare site such as Fareham Community Hospital, 2.7 miles east of Hound, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Hound is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We cover Hound, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Hound is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for facade joints.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Hound can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.

What else we do in Hound
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Providing access systems for the work
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
