Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Barham
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you’re dealing with failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Barham? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Barham is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Cladding panel joints

Barham: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Barham Business Park, close to Barham?
Yes, sites like Barham Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Barham. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kent and Canterbury Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Commercial clients in Barham
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Barham can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Rural sites near Barham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

What else we do in Barham
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
