About our facade sealing in Broad Tenterden
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Site teams most often ask us about failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Broad Tenterden? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like Broad Tenterden, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Share access with other external trades
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
New build and refits around Broad Tenterden
Broad Tenterden is about 46 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Broad Tenterden. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
With historic properties like Smallhythe Place, 1.6 miles south of Broad Tenterden, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. New units and refits on sites such as Pickhill Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the south of Broad Tenterden, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Signs you need facade sealing in Broad Tenterden
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
For a contractor working at a hospital such as West View Hospital, 0.8 miles west of Broad Tenterden, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Why act early in Broad Tenterden
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings around smaller places like Broad Tenterden, 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.
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 and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Pickhill Business Centre, close to Broad Tenterden?
Yes, sites like Pickhill Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Broad Tenterden. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like West View Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.
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 external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
