Managing agents and owners in Keyhaven ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have draughts around frames and panels and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Keyhaven?

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Keyhaven: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Our building in Keyhaven is near the coast: does that change the 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.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Facades, frames and programmes in Keyhaven
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Keyhaven. 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. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Keyhaven. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
New wings at hospitals like Lymington New Forest Hospital, 3.4 miles to the north of Keyhaven, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Milford House Hotel, 0.9 miles west of Keyhaven, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Projects at schools like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
