How we handle facade sealing in Keynor Estate
Managing agents and owners in Keynor Estate 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. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Most enquiries involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and discoloured or dirty facade joints, across window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Keynor Estate tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Keynor Estate, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Share access with other external trades
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Keynor Estate: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Enborne Business Park, by Keynor Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Keynor Estate, Enborne Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as St Richard's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
New build and refits around Keynor Estate
Keynor Estate 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, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Keynor Estate is about 59 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Units on estates such as Enborne Business Park (0.5 miles south-east of Keynor Estate) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at schools like Sidlesham Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For contractors on a campus like University of Chichester, 4.7 miles north-east of Keynor Estate, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Keynor Estate is about 2 miles north of Selsey, in West Sussex. Across the PO20 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Keynor Estate is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. We also cover Portsmouth, some 13 miles away.

Close to Keynor Estate, our area also takes in Sidlesham (1 mile north-east), Street End (1 mile north), Church Norton (2 miles south-east), Sidlesham Common (2 miles north) and Pagham (2 miles east).

Near you in Keynor Estate
Around Keynor Estate, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Academy. Keynor Estate’s nearest station is Chichester station, about 4.4 miles north. A little further out are Selsey Lifeboat Museum (2.9 miles south) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north).
What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Halls, stores and units around places like Keynor Estate may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Keynor Estate are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out any areas we must not close
