How we handle facade sealing in Hounsdown
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 cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is discoloured or dirty facade joints and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hounsdown first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around places like Hounsdown, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. In a smaller place such as Hounsdown, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Questions we’re asked in Hounsdown
Is Rushington Business Park, near Hounsdown, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hounsdown, Rushington Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Hounsdown too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
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.
When to call us in Hounsdown
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Hotels like The Station Hotel (1.2 miles north-east of Hounsdown) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Facade sealing in Hounsdown: the local picture
Hounsdown is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Hounsdown 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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Extensions at sites like Tatchbury Mount Hospital, 2.2 miles north-west of Hounsdown, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. New units and refits on sites such as Rushington Business Park, less than half a mile north of Hounsdown, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.

What else we do in Hounsdown
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
