How we handle facade sealing in Bonnington
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and patch repairs that keep failing, we can put it right, on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bonnington first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Bonnington, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Bliby Business Centre, by Bonnington?
Yes, sites like Bliby Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Bonnington. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.

New build and refits around Bonnington
Bonnington lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. 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.
Units on estates such as Bliby Business Centre, 1.8 miles north-west of Bonnington, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Hospital estates such as William Harvey Hospital (to the north of Bonnington) 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. When a school such as Aldington Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
