How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.
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, not the framing or glazing itself.
Facade sealing in Milford on Sea
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. The enquiries we see most involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and air leaks through failed facade joints, across shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Milford on Sea first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Building work in places the size of Milford on Sea is normally small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For a job in Milford on Sea, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Request a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Contractors’ notes for Milford on Sea
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Milford on Sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Rainfall across the South East, Milford on Sea included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
On a healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital, 3.6 miles to the north-east of Milford on Sea, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Projects at schools like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.

What we’re called out for in Milford on Sea
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
For a contractor at a hotel such as Milford House Hotel, which lies north-east of Milford on Sea, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Common questions from Milford on Sea clients
Is Milford on Sea too far out for you?
No. Places such as Milford on Sea are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Our building in Milford on Sea is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
