How we handle facade sealing in Sholing
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant on precast panel joints and air leaks through failed facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Sholing, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Sholing, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
What happens if it’s left?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Sholing: questions and answers
Is Sholing too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal South Hants Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Several jobs near Sholing can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

- Point out any areas we must not close

Facades, frames and programmes in Sholing
Sholing sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Sholing lies roughly 68 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Building work at universities like Solent University (to the west of Sholing) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Further education sites such as Itchen College (to the north of Sholing) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For contractors at a school such as St Monica Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Sholing is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Sholing use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Southampton. Our Southampton coverage takes in 30 places.

A little further out are Netley Castle (1.6 miles south) and Marlands Shopping Centre (2.3 miles west). The countryside around Sholing includes Netley Common.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.

What else we do in Sholing
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
