Questions about Red Rice
Is Red Rice off your patch?
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.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Andover War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Facade sealing in Red Rice
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are old perimeter mastic that has dried out and staining on stone next to old sealant. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Red Rice tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Red Rice 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Sites and facades in and around Red Rice
Rainfall across the South East, Red Rice included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 65 miles from central London, Red Rice is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
New wings at hospitals like Andover War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles north of Red Rice) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Further education sites such as Andover College, 2.7 miles to the north-east of Red Rice, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Red Rice is about 3 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Looking for facade sealing in Red Rice? We can help. Red Rice is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for facade joints. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area.

Signs you need facade sealing in Red Rice
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When units on a site such as Glenmore Business Park, 2.1 miles to the north of Red Rice, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Share access with other external trades
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Red Rice, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Around Red Rice, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
