Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lower Upham
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Most enquiries involve draughts around frames and panels and discoloured or dirty facade joints, across window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lower Upham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Lower Upham bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Sites and facades in and around Lower Upham
Lower Upham lies roughly 62 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Rainfall across the South East, Lower Upham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Hospital estates such as Moorgreen Hospital, 4.4 miles to the south-west of Lower Upham, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. School extensions, at buildings such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When units on a site such as Deer Park Farm Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the south-west of Lower Upham, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Lower Upham is about 4 miles east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. We cover Lower Upham and the rest of Hampshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 723 places in Hampshire. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area, about 7 miles away.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Lower Upham need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the 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.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs: Lower Upham
Would you work within a site like Moorgreen Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Lower Upham off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
