Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Old Netley
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames after rain and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Most enquiries from Old Netley start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Old Netley can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Our process
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, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Old Netley are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open

Related advice
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Fareham Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work at a site such as Hedge End Retail Park, by Old Netley?
Yes, sites like Hedge End Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Old Netley. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, 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.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Facade sealing around Old Netley: points for this area
Old Netley sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Old Netley is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hospital estates such as Fareham Community Hospital, 2.6 miles south-east of Old Netley, 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. Units on estates such as Hedge End Retail Park (to the north of Old Netley) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. When a college such as Itchen College (to the north-west of Old Netley) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.

Different surfaces, different methods
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 using a sealant classified for that use.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
What else we do in Old Netley
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Older rural buildings around Old Netley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
