About our facade sealing in Tidworth
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. Most enquiries involve water coming in around window frames and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, across shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Tidworth, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions around smaller places like Tidworth often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Several jobs near Tidworth can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.

What else we do in Tidworth
Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Castledown Business Park, by Tidworth?
Yes, sites like Castledown Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Tidworth. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Tidworth too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Tidworth are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Tidworth
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Tidworth can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Common problems we fix in Tidworth
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Water coming in around window frames
New units and refits on sites such as Castledown Business Park, 1.7 miles north-east of Tidworth, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Facade sealing in Tidworth: the local picture
Tidworth is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 70 miles from Tidworth. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
School extensions, at buildings such as The Wellington Academy, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
