About our facade sealing in Broad Street
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. 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 weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Broad Street, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Broad Street is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Building and refurbishing in Broad Street
Broad Street lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Broad Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hospital estates such as KIMS Hospital, 2.9 miles to the west of Broad Street, 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. With historic properties like Leeds Castle (to the south of Broad Street) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Broad Street is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Looking for facade sealing in Broad Street? We can help, as we do across Kent. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page (34 miles or so).

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Common problems we fix in Broad Street
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
For contractors on a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University, 2.6 miles to the east of Broad Street, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Your questions answered
Is Broad Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Broad Street is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as KIMS Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. 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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broad Street are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
