Facade sealing in Lee, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you have water coming in around window frames and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters alike. For commercial sealant work in Lee, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like Lee can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Contractors’ notes for Lee
Lee sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Lee sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
University estates such as University of Southampton, 4.3 miles south-east of Lee, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Hospital estates such as Romsey Hospital (to the north of Lee) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. When a college such as Totton College (to the south of Lee) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.
Lee is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Lee for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Lee is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
Quoting for work in Lee
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Lee need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.

Questions about Lee
Is a smaller place like Lee outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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.
Will you take on work at estates like Crescent Industrial Estate, close to Lee?
Yes. Our area takes in Lee and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Crescent Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we’ll price the work around it.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
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 before quoting.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
