Common problems we fix in Newfound
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Hospital estates such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (2.9 miles north-east of Newfound) 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.

How we handle facade sealing in Newfound
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is discoloured or dirty facade joints and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Newfound, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Newfound 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

Building and refurbishing in Newfound
At about 49 miles from central London, Newfound is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Newfound included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as West Ham Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the east of Newfound, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. When a school such as Oakley Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Newfound is about 3 miles west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Newfound. Newfound is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire. For work in that direction, see our Reading page.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Newfound, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Common questions from Newfound clients
Is a smaller place like Newfound outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as West Ham Industrial Estate, near Newfound?
Yes. We cover Newfound and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as West Ham Industrial Estate. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Owners, agents and contractors
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.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
