About our facade sealing in Lockerley
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. 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, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is previous reseals run over old sealant and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lockerley 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.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Lockerley is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Mastic packages on Lockerley sites
Lockerley 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
On a healthcare site such as Romsey Community Hospital, which lies south-east of Lockerley, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Home Farm Business Centre (1.3 miles north of Lockerley) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Lockerley is about 5 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Lockerley is covered. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Southampton have their own page, roughly 11 miles from Lockerley.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout SO51. Streets here include Butlers Close, Oval Road and Clem's Way, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Carter's Clay (1 mile south-east), Dunbridge (1 mile east), Mottisfont (2 miles east), Kimbridge (2 miles east) and Awbridge (2 miles south-east) for facade joints. Further afield, our area takes in Winchester (11 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles south-east), Andover (13 miles north), Totton (8 miles south), Chandler's Ford (9 miles east) and Hedge End (14 miles south-east).

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Lockerley need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lockerley
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Older rural buildings around Lockerley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Lockerley
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Patch repairs that keep failing
When a school such as Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
