Facade sealing in Roughdown
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why act early in Roughdown
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Halls, stores and units around places like Roughdown may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Glenmore Business Park, close to Roughdown?
Yes. We cover Roughdown and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Glenmore Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as Hythe Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Building and refurbishing in Roughdown
Roughdown is within about 2 miles of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Roughdown is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When a school such as Blackfield Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. When units on a site such as Glenmore Business Park, 1.4 miles to the north of Roughdown, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. If others near Roughdown need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close

What we’re called out for in Roughdown
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Older buildings in the area around Roughdown, such as Beaulieu Palace House, which lies west of Roughdown, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
