What we’re called out for in Upper Common
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (5.2 miles north of Upper Common), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Before you book anyone
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Facade sealing in Upper Common
Managing agents and owners in Upper Common ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Most enquiries from Upper Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like Upper Common can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
Owners, agents and contractors
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, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Why act early in Upper Common
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Converted and older buildings near places like Upper Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Specification-led, product-correct work

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Mastic packages on Upper Common sites
Upper Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Upper Common lies roughly 48 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Historic houses such as Hall Place (3.9 miles south-east of Upper Common) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. New units and refits on sites such as Viables Business Park (2.8 miles north of Upper Common) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital?
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.
Is Upper Common too far out for you?
No. Places such as Upper Common are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
