Facade sealing in Boxley, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Most enquiries involve facade joints cracked through the middle and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Boxley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Boxley, building work typically 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Building and refurbishing in Boxley
Rainfall across the South East, Boxley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Boxley. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Historic houses such as Stoneacre, 4 miles south of Boxley, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. When units on a site such as Viewpoint Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south of Boxley, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Boxley is about 3 miles north of Maidstone, in Kent. Any commercial site in Boxley is covered. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, Boxley among them. London is covered too, around 31 miles from Boxley.

Boxley: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Viewpoint Industrial Estate, close to Boxley?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Boxley, Viewpoint Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Boxley too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Boxley are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
How long do sealant joints 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.

Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common problems we fix in Boxley
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Building work at universities like University for the Creative Arts, 3.1 miles south-west of Boxley, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Converted and older buildings near places like Boxley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
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.
