About our facade sealing in Southwood
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. The enquiries we see most involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and air leaks through failed facade joints, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. For commercial sealant work in Southwood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Southwood, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a job in Southwood, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Southwood
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. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Common questions from Southwood clients
Will you take on work at estates like Southwood Business Park, close to Southwood?
Yes. Our area takes in Southwood and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Southwood Business Park included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can work at a site such as Farnborough College of Technology fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is Southwood in your area?
Yes. Sites across Southwood are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Building and refurbishing in Southwood
Southwood has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Southwood sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Further education sites such as Farnborough College of Technology (2.1 miles east of Southwood) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. When units on a site such as Southwood Business Park (under half a mile east of Southwood) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. When a school such as Southwood Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
