Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Acol
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Site teams most often ask us about cold air coming in at window perimeters and leaks at window and door perimeters, on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Acol is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites around smaller places like Acol can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why act early in Acol
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, often turning up far from the joint. Around Acol, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Acol change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Does your area include sites such as Manston Business Park, near Acol?
Yes, sites like Manston Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Acol. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.

Signs you need facade sealing in Acol
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Historic houses such as Quex Park, 0.8 miles to the north-east of Acol, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Facade sealing around Acol: how the place shapes the job
Acol lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. A 2-mile radius around Acol takes in several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Units on estates such as Manston Business Park, 0.6 miles south-east of Acol, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at schools like Birchington Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Acol, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.

- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
