What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email us with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Facade sealing in Selborne, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Site teams most often ask us about damp patches beside frames after rain and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Selborne it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Selborne, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
New build and refits around Selborne
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Selborne is about 46 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Units on estates such as Southlands Industrial Park, 1.9 miles to the east of Selborne, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. When a school such as Selborne Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Alton Community Hospital, 3.5 miles to the north-west of Selborne, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Selborne is about 4 miles south of Alton, in Hampshire. Looking for facade sealing in Selborne? We can help, as we do across Hampshire. Selborne is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire for facade joints. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, roughly 21 miles from Selborne.
Business premises anywhere in GU34 are within our area. Among the streets we cover are Huckers Lane, Ganders Close and Selborne Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Newton Valence (1 mile west), Empshott (2 miles south-east), Lower Green (3 miles south), Hawkley (3 miles south) and Oakshott (4 miles south) for facade joints. Bigger towns within reach include Basingstoke (13 miles north-west), Fleet (13 miles north), Horndean (14 miles south), Aldershot (13 miles north-east), Alton (4 miles north) and Waterlooville (15 miles south).
Landmarks near Selborne
We work on buildings around The Jubilee Tap. The nearest railway station is Alton station, about 3.8 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include The Romany Museum (less than half a mile south-east) and Alton Community Hospital (3.5 miles north-west). The countryside around Selborne includes Selborne Hill and Deadwater Valley.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints

Selborne: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Southlands Industrial Park, near Selborne?
Yes. Our area takes in Selborne and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Southlands Industrial Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Selborne too far out for you?
No. Places such as Selborne are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Halls, stores and units around places like Selborne may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Our process

A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
