How we handle facade sealing in Totford
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. If you have old perimeter mastic that has dried out and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Totford first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Totford 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.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Totford. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Facade sealing in Totford: the local picture
Totford is about 53 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Totford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Sites around Totford get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. Around Totford, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
Totford is about 8 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Totford use us for work on facade joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. Sites around Southampton have their own page, roughly 18 miles from Totford.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.

Cost factors for facade joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
