Why act early in Broad Oak
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. For buildings around smaller places like Broad Oak, 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. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Facade sealing in Broad Oak, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Most enquiries from Broad Oak start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Broad Oak can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Facades, frames and programmes in Broad Oak
Broad Oak is about 48 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Rainfall across the South East, Broad Oak included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
When a school such as Brede Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Extensions at sites like Conquest Hospital, 4.7 miles south of Broad Oak, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. With historic properties like Great Dixter (to the north of Broad Oak) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.

What affects the price in Broad Oak
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
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.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broad Oak are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Questions about Broad Oak
Can the mastic package for our job in Broad Oak follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Conquest Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them 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.
