Facade sealing in Ashford Common
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and draughts around frames and panels, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ashford Common first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In a smaller place such as Ashford Common, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need facade sealing in Ashford Common
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Water coming in around window frames
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
New wings at hospitals like Ashford Hospital, 2 miles to the north-west of Ashford Common, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
New build and refits around Ashford Common
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Ashford Common. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Ashford Common is about 16 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
When a school such as Meadhurst Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Further education sites such as Brooklands College - Ashford Campus (to the north-west of Ashford Common) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Questions about Ashford Common
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ashford Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can work at a site such as St Mary's University fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For a site in Ashford Common, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
