Facade sealing across Aylesham
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
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. For buildings in places like Aylesham, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What you get with us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

Facade sealing in Aylesham
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we will fit the work around it. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are staining on stone next to old sealant and air leaks through failed facade joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Aylesham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
On a small site around Aylesham, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
Contractors’ notes for Aylesham
Aylesham is about 59 miles from central London. 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. Aylesham 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, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hospital estates such as St Martins Hospital, 5.2 miles to the north-west of Aylesham, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. School extensions, at buildings such as Aylesham Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Aylesham Industrial Estate (to the south-west of Aylesham) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Providing access systems for the work
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Several jobs near Aylesham can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Aylesham Industrial Estate, close to Aylesham?
Yes, sites like Aylesham Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Aylesham. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Martins Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we will plan the work with you.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Is Aylesham in your area?
Yes. Aylesham falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
