Facade sealing in Martyr Worthy, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. Most enquiries involve draughts around frames and panels and staining on stone next to old sealant, on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Martyr Worthy tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Martyr Worthy, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints

- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Do you need facade sealing in Martyr Worthy?
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Look out for the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
When units on a site such as Abbas Business Centre (to the east of Martyr Worthy) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Smaller jobs around Martyr Worthy can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.

Facade sealing around Martyr Worthy: what changes locally
Martyr Worthy 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, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 57 miles from Martyr Worthy. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
University estates such as University of Winchester, 4.1 miles to the south-west of Martyr Worthy, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. On a healthcare site such as Leigh House Hospital, which lies south-west of Martyr Worthy, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Martyr Worthy is about 4 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Martyr Worthy is covered. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover Southampton, around 14 miles from Martyr Worthy.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
