Facade sealing in St Cross, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in St Cross it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions around smaller places like St Cross often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Contractors’ notes for St Cross
There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of St Cross. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. St Cross sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Southgate Hotel, 0.9 miles to the north of St Cross, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital (0.8 miles north-west of St Cross), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors on a campus like University of Winchester (0.9 miles north of St Cross), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
St Cross is about 1 mile south of Winchester, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO22, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Winchester?
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 St Cross too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we will plan the work with you.
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.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older

Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Work in places the size of St Cross is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we review photos, 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.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice

Why it’s worth doing now in St Cross
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. In a smaller place such as St Cross, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
