General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
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 in Red Post Bridge, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you are dealing with cold air coming in at window perimeters and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Red Post Bridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Red Post Bridge can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Facade sealing around Red Post Bridge: points for this area
Red Post Bridge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 65 miles from Red Post Bridge. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
When a college such as Andover College, 2.4 miles east of Red Post Bridge, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. Units on estates such as Plot 5 Andover Business Park (to the north-east of Red Post Bridge) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Advice
Do you need facade sealing in Red Post Bridge?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
School extensions, at buildings such as John Hanson Community School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.

Questions we’re asked in Red Post Bridge
Will you take on work at estates like Plot 5 Andover Business Park, close to Red Post Bridge?
Yes, sites like Plot 5 Andover Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Red Post Bridge. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Andover College?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
