How we handle facade sealing in Bredgar
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and damp patches beside frames after rain. Most enquiries from Bredgar start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Bredgar, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Facade sealing in Bredgar: the local picture
Bredgar is about 37 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Bredgar sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors at a school such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Further education sites such as Sittingbourne College (to the north-east of Bredgar) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. On a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University, which lies south of Bredgar, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year.

Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Questions we’re asked in Bredgar
Is Bredgar too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned 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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
