Facade sealing in Steephill, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Steephill tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Steephill, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

FAQs: Steephill
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as St Catherine's College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Ventnor Industrial Estate, near Steephill, within your area?
Yes, sites like Ventnor Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Steephill. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you cover Steephill?
Yes. We cover Steephill, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Specialist high-level access methods
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Cost factors for facade joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Owners, agents and contractors
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Steephill, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
Contractors’ notes for Steephill
With the shore within about 1 mile, Steephill counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Steephill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Ventnor Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Steephill) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. New wings at hospitals like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (3.6 miles north-east of Steephill) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Projects at colleges like St Catherine's College, 1.2 miles to the north-east of Steephill, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Diagnose, treat, 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, and the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For work around Steephill, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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 both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
