How we handle facade sealing in Allington
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is water coming in around window frames and staining on stone next to old sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Allington is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions around smaller places like Allington often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for 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.
What affects the price in Allington
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Contractors’ notes for Allington
Allington has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Allington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Work at a hotel such as Grange Moor Hotel (to the south of Allington) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. University estates such as University for the Creative Arts (1 mile south of Allington) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Allington is about 2 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. If you’re looking for facade sealing in Allington, we can help. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover London, some 29 miles away.
Anyone looking for facade sealing in ME16, ME20 and ME14 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Allington
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When a college such as MidKent College Maidstone Campus (1.2 miles south of Allington) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Allington need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
Allington: questions and answers
Can work at a site such as University for the Creative Arts fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Allington off your patch?
No. Places such as Allington are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
