Facade sealing in Stonehills
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Stonehills
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. The enquiries we see most involve air leaks through failed facade joints and facade joints cracked through the middle, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Whoever orders the work in Stonehills, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Stonehills bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Stonehills can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Common questions from Stonehills clients
Is Stonehills too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Coldeast?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. For buildings around smaller places like Stonehills, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Common problems we fix in Stonehills
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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
New units and refits on sites such as Ensign Way Business Park (to the north of Stonehills) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Mastic packages on Stonehills sites
With the shore within about 1 mile, Stonehills counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
With historic properties like Beaulieu Palace House (to the west of Stonehills) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Hospital estates such as Coldeast (4.1 miles north-east of Stonehills) 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.
