From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Ashley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Ashley
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ashley from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Ashley, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
What affects the price in Ashley
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Halls, stores and units around places like Ashley may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Sites and facades in and around Ashley
Ashley lies roughly 64 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Ashley is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Pike Road Industrial Estate (1.7 miles north-west of Ashley) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. New wings at hospitals like Buckland Hospital, 4.1 miles to the south of Ashley, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Historic houses such as Walmer Castle (4.3 miles east of Ashley) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Ashley is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. Ashley sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Ashley is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for facade joints. London is covered too, some 64 miles away.

Near you in Ashley
For rail, the closest station is Martin Mill station, about 2.4 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Walmer Castle (4.3 miles east) and Buckland Hospital (4.1 miles south).
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

FAQs: Ashley
Is Ashley off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Buckland Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you install glazing systems?
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 much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
