Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near South Gorley, such as Headlands Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in South Gorley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Headlands Business Park included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is South Gorley too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. That is what makes the new joint last.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Facade sealing in South Gorley, done properly
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. 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. If you have air leaks through failed facade joints and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in South Gorley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like South Gorley, 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 normally what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Sites and facades in and around South Gorley
Rainfall across the South East, South Gorley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Headlands Business Park, 2.6 miles to the south of South Gorley, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. School extensions, at buildings such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Rural sites near South Gorley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
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.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints

Do you need facade sealing in South Gorley?
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Hospital estates such as Fordingbridge Hospital (to the north-west of South Gorley) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The named product and why it was chosen
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. For buildings around smaller places like South Gorley, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
