Common problems we fix in Aldington
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Draughts around frames and panels
When a school such as Aldington Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How joint depth will be controlled

Facade sealing in Aldington, done properly
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, across window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Aldington it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Aldington is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
New build and refits around Aldington
Central London is about 53 miles from Aldington. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Aldington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Extensions at sites like William Harvey Hospital, 3.6 miles north of Aldington, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. With historic properties like Westenhanger Castle (3.9 miles east of Aldington) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Aldington is about 5 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN25, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Aldington among them. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page.

Around Aldington
In Aldington, that means premises near Walnut Tree Inn and Poulton Wood and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ham Street station, roughly 4.1 miles south-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Lympne Castle (3.8 miles east) and William Harvey Hospital (3.6 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Hatch Park.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aldington
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Older rural buildings around Aldington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Aldington can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

FAQs: Aldington
Is Aldington too far out for you?
Not at all. Aldington is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Evegate Business Park, near Aldington, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Aldington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Evegate Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
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 confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What affects the price in Aldington
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
