Facade sealing for Kingsmead sites

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Why act early in Kingsmead

A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Older rural buildings around Kingsmead move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Why appoint us

  • One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
  • Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
  • Over 20 years of commercial sealing
  • Fully insured

Facade sealing in Kingsmead, done properly

We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are staining on stone next to old sealant and facade joints cracked through the middle. Searching for sealant specialists in Kingsmead? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.

Sites around smaller places like Kingsmead can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

FAQs: Kingsmead

Is Kingsmead off your patch?

Not at all. Kingsmead is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Knowle Hospital?

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

How do I request a quote?

It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

How soon can the area be used again?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

Can you look at water coming in around a frame?

Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.

From enquiry to sign-off

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Kingsmead can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
  2. The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
  3. Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
  4. Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
  5. A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
  6. We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.

Getting the site ready

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Facade sealing in Kingsmead: the local picture

Central London is about 61 miles from Kingsmead. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Kingsmead is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.

Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Waltham Business Park (to the north-west of Kingsmead) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as Swanmore College of Technology is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Kingsmead is about 5 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire.

Signs you need facade sealing in Kingsmead

Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.

Typical triggers for a call:

  • Damp patches beside frames after rain
  • Air leaks through failed facade joints
  • Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
  • Sealant pulling away from frames or panels

New wings at hospitals like Knowle Hospital (3.1 miles south-west of Kingsmead) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

What your quote should include

  • How the existing material will be dealt with
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • The named product and why it was chosen
  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Different surfaces, different methods

Render and coated surfaces

Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.

Cladding panel joints

On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.

What sealant work can’t fix

Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:

  • Providing access systems for the work
  • Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
  • Damp caused by condensation inside the building

Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
