Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lordswood
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you have draughts around frames and panels and patch repairs that keep failing, we can help, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Lordswood? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around places like Lordswood, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in Lordswood
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Southampton, which lies north-east of Lordswood, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a site in Lordswood, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- 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.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
Lordswood: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Princess Anne Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Our building in Lordswood is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.

Cost factors for facade joints

- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
