Facade sealing in Lower Burgate, 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, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. Most enquiries involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, across cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Lower Burgate, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Lower Burgate, 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, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about Lower Burgate
Is a hospital such as Fordingbridge Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lower Burgate, such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lower Burgate, Arch Farm Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Lower Burgate may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out 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.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Do you need facade sealing in Lower Burgate?
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For a contractor at a hotel such as Greyhound Hotel, 0.8 miles south of Lower Burgate, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What site paperwork they can supply

Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Facade sealing in Lower Burgate: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
New units and refits on sites such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate (0.5 miles west of Lower Burgate) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. When a school such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
