Common problems we fix in Upper Clatford
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Projects at colleges like Andover College (to the north-east of Upper Clatford) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

- Who will actually carry out the work
Facade sealing in Upper Clatford
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are facade joints cracked through the middle and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Upper Clatford is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Upper Clatford, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. For buildings around smaller places like Upper Clatford, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

FAQs: Upper Clatford
Can work at a site such as Andover College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Upper Clatford too far out for you?
Not at all. Upper Clatford is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll plan the work with you.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
