Facade sealing for Tinkers Cross sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Building and refurbishing in Tinkers Cross
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Arch Farm Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the south-east of Tinkers Cross, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hotels like Greyhound Hotel (0.9 miles south-east of Tinkers Cross) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Tinkers Cross is in Hampshire. Across the SP6 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Tinkers Cross is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire for facade joints. For work in that direction, see our Southampton page.

Do you need facade sealing in Tinkers Cross?
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Hospital estates such as Fordingbridge Hospital (0.8 miles south of Tinkers Cross) 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.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Tinkers Cross can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies 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.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send your site hours and access windows

- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing

Tinkers Cross: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Fordingbridge Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work at a site such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, by Tinkers Cross?
Yes. Our area takes in Tinkers Cross and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do you cover Tinkers Cross?
Yes. Sites across Tinkers Cross are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
