About our facade sealing in Sandy Down
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you have patch repairs that keep failing and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Sandy Down start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In the countryside around places like Sandy Down, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
FAQs: Sandy Down
Does the sea air around Sandy Down change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Brockenhurst College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is Sandy Down in your area?
Yes. Sites across Sandy Down are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Facades, frames and programmes in Sandy Down
Sandy Down sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. 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. Sandy Down sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors at a college like Brockenhurst College, 1.8 miles to the north of Sandy Down, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. On a healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital, 1.9 miles to the south of Sandy Down, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Sandy Down is about 3 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO41, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Sandy Down is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire. We also cover Southampton, around 11 miles from Sandy Down.

Cost factors for facade joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Common problems we fix in Sandy Down
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Work at a hotel such as Passford House Hotel, 1.3 miles to the south-west of Sandy Down, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sandy Down
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Converted and older buildings near places like Sandy Down tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
