Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Bicknor
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. 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’re dealing with old perimeter mastic that has dried out and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bicknor tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Bicknor, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
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.

Advice
More services for Bicknor
What we are called out for in Bicknor
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Water coming in around window frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Hospital estates such as KIMS hospital (4.9 miles west of Bicknor) 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.

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Bicknor: questions and answers
Is Kent Science Park, near Bicknor, within your area?
Yes. We cover Bicknor and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Kent Science Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, describe the access, and we’ll plan the work with you.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Around Bicknor, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
