Facade sealing in Stubbington

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

General trades versus a specialist

Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces 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.

How we handle facade sealing in Stubbington

Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you have cold air coming in at window perimeters and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters alike. Whoever orders the work in Stubbington, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

On a small site around Stubbington, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.

Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Signs you need facade sealing in Stubbington

Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.

If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:

  • Damp patches beside frames after rain
  • Air leaks through failed facade joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes

For contractors at a college like Fareham College, 2 miles north-east of Stubbington, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Before you book anyone

  • Proof of insurance
  • Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

How to choose a sealant contractor

Honest limits

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Damaged frames that need replacing
  • Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
  • Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Shopfront frames
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Window and door perimeters

Different surfaces, different methods

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.

Precast concrete panels

Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.

Your questions answered

Can being near the sea in Stubbington affect the sealant we need?

It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.

Is a hospital such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.

Can weather delay the job?

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.

How do I request a quote?

The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Do you seal facades in winter?

Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Sites and facades in and around Stubbington

Stubbington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Stubbington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.

Work at a hotel such as Crofton Manor Hotel, 0.7 miles to the north of Stubbington, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. School extensions, at buildings such as Crofton Anne Dale Junior School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

On site: what to expect

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Work in places the size of Stubbington is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.

  1. We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
  2. Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
  3. The existing bead comes out in full.
  4. Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
  5. Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
  6. The finished joints are checked with you.

What we need from you

  • Make sure the joints can be reached
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Agree which areas must stay open
