Facade sealing in Upham
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with failed sealant on precast panel joints and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Upham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Upham 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 usually what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
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 anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For a building around Upham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
Upham: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Moorgreen 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 Upham too far out for you?
Not at all. Upham is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
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.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Commercial clients in Upham
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 Upham can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

What we’re called out for in Upham
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
New wings at hospitals like Moorgreen Hospital, 5.4 miles south-west of Upham, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their public liability cover
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Contractors’ notes for Upham
Central London is about 61 miles from Upham. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Upham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
New units and refits on sites such as Deer Park Farm Industrial Estate (to the south-west of Upham) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. School extensions, at buildings such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
