Lodsworth: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Lodsworth outside your area?
Not at all. Lodsworth is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lodsworth, such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Hurstfold Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Lodsworth. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Facade sealing in Lodsworth
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 stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Whoever orders the work in Lodsworth, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Lodsworth, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Lodsworth as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- 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.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
Facade sealing around Lodsworth: how the place shapes the job
Central London is about 43 miles from Lodsworth. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
With historic properties like Cowdray House, 2.4 miles to the south-west of Lodsworth, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Midhurst Community Hospital, 2.4 miles to the west of Lodsworth, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When units on a site such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles north-west of Lodsworth, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Around Lodsworth, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
