Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Brookland

Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. 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. Site teams most often ask us about weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, across coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Brookland tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

For a site near Brookland, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Brookland

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.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Failed sealant on precast panel joints
  • Facade joints cracked through the middle
  • Discoloured or dirty facade joints
  • Damp patches beside frames after rain

School extensions, at buildings such as Brookland Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

What to look for in a quote

  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

From enquiry to sign-off

Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Brookland are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

  1. Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
  4. Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
  5. Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Let us know about inductions and permits

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 using a sealant classified for that use.

Render and coated surfaces

Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.

Doing it in-house

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Sites and facades in and around Brookland

At about 53 miles from central London, Brookland is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Brookland included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.

On any site in or around Brookland, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Brookland is about 10 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. Any commercial site in Brookland is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 43 miles away.

Brookland: questions and answers

Can the mastic package for our job in Brookland follow the site programme?

Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Which documents can you supply for work in Brookland?

RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.

Is Brookland in your area?

Yes. We take on work across Brookland.

Is any job too small?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.

Do you use silicone for external joints?

Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, depending on the substrate and the specification.

Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?

No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.

Can the building stay open while you work?

In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brookland

Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Brookland. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
