Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Share access with other external trades
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Facade sealing in Lychpit
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and patch repairs that keep failing. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Lychpit, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Lychpit 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

What else we do in Lychpit
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Common questions from Lychpit clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Queen Mary's College?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Commercial clients in Lychpit
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, 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, plus a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Lychpit may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Facade sealing around Lychpit: how the place shapes the job
Lychpit is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Lychpit. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For contractors at a college like Queen Mary's College, which lies south-west of Lychpit, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Hotels like Hampshire Centre Court Hotel, 0.9 miles north of Lychpit, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For contractors at a school such as Old Basing Infant School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
