Facade sealing in Northam, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you have hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Northam it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Northam, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.

Why it’s worth doing now in Northam
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. For buildings in places like Northam, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Building and refurbishing in Northam
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Northam. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. A 2-mile radius around Northam takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
When a college such as Southampton City College Marine Skills Centre, 0.7 miles south of Northam, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff. When units on a site such as Bitterne Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the north of Northam, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On a campus such as Solent University, which lies west of Northam, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Northam is about 1 mile south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Anywhere in SO14, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Southampton coverage takes in 30 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Your questions answered
Is Northam too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Northam affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
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.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For a job in Northam, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
