Facade sealing in Setley
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Setley. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and air leaks through failed facade joints, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Setley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Setley, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Sites and facades in and around Setley
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Setley. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Setley sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Further education sites such as Brockenhurst College, 1 mile north of Setley, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. Hotels like Thatched Cottage Hotel, 0.7 miles to the north of Setley, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Projects at schools like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Setley is about 4 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Setley is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, including Setley. There’s a separate page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Rural sites near Setley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Why it’s worth doing now in Setley
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Setley, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Brockenhurst College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Setley too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Setley are covered as much as the big 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.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch without tearing.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
