Need facade sealing in South Hayling?
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a job in South Hayling, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected

How we handle facade sealing in South Hayling
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. If you have water coming in around window frames and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover South Hayling? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In a smaller place such as South Hayling, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Quoting for work in South Hayling
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.

When to call us in South Hayling
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Water coming in around window frames
When a school such as Mengham Junior School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

FAQs: South Hayling
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Furniss Business Centre, close to South Hayling?
Yes. We cover South Hayling and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Furniss Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Facade sealing around South Hayling: what changes locally
South Hayling is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. South Hayling is about 62 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Building work at universities like University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus, 2.9 miles to the west of South Hayling, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Hotels like Newton House Hotel (0.6 miles north-west of South Hayling) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
