FAQs: Boughton Aluph
Is hospital work, at somewhere like William Harvey Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Boughton Aluph too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Boughton Aluph
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are new sealant peeling off old mastic and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Boughton Aluph, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Boughton Aluph, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Mastic packages on Boughton Aluph sites
Boughton Aluph has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Boughton Aluph sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
School extensions, at buildings such as Wye School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Work at a hotel such as Eastwell Manor Hotel, 1.2 miles to the west of Boughton Aluph, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. For buildings around smaller places like Boughton Aluph, 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. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
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 fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Common problems we fix in Boughton Aluph
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
New wings at hospitals like William Harvey Hospital (to the south of Boughton Aluph) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Boughton Aluph can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
