How we handle facade sealing in Milford
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. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can help, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Milford from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In a smaller place such as Milford, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Milford
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually 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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
When a school such as Milford School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Facades, frames and programmes in Milford
Rainfall across the South East, Milford 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, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. A 2-mile radius around Milford takes in several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Extensions at sites like Milford Hospital (to the east of Milford) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When a college such as Godalming College, 1.4 miles to the east of Milford, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.

Other services in Milford
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Several jobs near Milford can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- 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.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Milford: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Godalming Business Centre, near Milford?
Yes. Our area takes in Milford and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Godalming Business Centre included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as Milford Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. 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:
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Milford. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
