Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Facade sealing in Ashurst
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you have new sealant peeling off old mastic and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can put it right, on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Ashurst, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Ashurst bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Ashurst may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Would you work within a site like Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Do you cover Ashurst?
Yes. We cover Ashurst, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facades, frames and programmes in Ashurst
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 28 miles from central London, Ashurst is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
On a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, 4 miles north-east of Ashurst, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. On a healthcare site such as Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital, 4.4 miles to the east of Ashurst, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Historic houses such as Groombridge Place, 1.6 miles south-east of Ashurst, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Ashurst is about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Looking for facade sealing in Ashurst? We can help, as we do across Kent. Ashurst is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for facade joints. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 24 miles from Ashurst.

Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings around smaller places like Ashurst, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Cost factors for facade joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
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.
