Facade sealing across Oliver's Battery
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Oliver's Battery are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached

About our facade sealing in Oliver's Battery
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is old perimeter mastic that has dried out and staining on stone next to old sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Oliver's Battery, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Oliver's Battery is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Facade sealing around Oliver's Battery: what changes locally
Oliver's Battery is about 63 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. A 2-mile radius around Oliver's Battery takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Projects at schools like Olivers Battery Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Extensions at sites like Sarum Road Hospital (BMI) (1.2 miles north-east of Oliver's Battery) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Oliver's Battery is about 2 miles south-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Oliver's Battery is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Sarum Road Hospital (BMI), something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Winchester?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Oliver's Battery. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When to call us in Oliver's Battery
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Units on estates such as Bar End Industrial Estate (2 miles east of Oliver's Battery) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
