Facade sealing for commercial buildings in The Hummicks
Managing agents and owners in The Hummicks ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in The Hummicks tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In the countryside around places like The Hummicks, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Mastic packages on The Hummicks sites
The Hummicks is within about 2 miles of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The Hummicks is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hardley Industrial Estate (to the north-east of The Hummicks) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Further education sites such as Totton College Waterside Centre (2.7 miles north of The Hummicks) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Questions about The Hummicks
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is The Hummicks off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Why act early in The Hummicks
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Older rural buildings around The Hummicks move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Commercial clients in The Hummicks
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near The Hummicks may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
