About our facade sealing in Lovedean
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you are dealing with new sealant peeling off old mastic and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lovedean from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Lovedean 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

New build and refits around Lovedean
At about 57 miles from central London, Lovedean is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Extensions at sites like Havant War Memorial Hospital, 4.3 miles to the south-east of Lovedean, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Westfield Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles east of Lovedean, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

What else we do in Lovedean
Common questions from Lovedean clients
Is a hospital such as Havant War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work at a site such as Westfield Industrial Estate, by Lovedean?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lovedean, Westfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Lovedean are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Older rural buildings around Lovedean 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.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Lovedean
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Common problems we fix in Lovedean
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Projects at schools like Woodcroft Primary work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
