Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Sandy Balls
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. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Sandy Balls it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Sandy Balls is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
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.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Sandy Balls: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Fordingbridge Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Sandy Balls off your patch?
Not at all. Sandy Balls is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sandy Balls are typically 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.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
What else we do in Sandy Balls
What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
What we’re called out for in Sandy Balls
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Fordingbridge Hospital (1.4 miles west of Sandy Balls), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Mastic packages on Sandy Balls sites
Sandy Balls sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
New units and refits on sites such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the west of Sandy Balls, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. With historic properties like Breamore House (2.9 miles north of Sandy Balls) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
