Facade sealing in Buttsole, 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. The enquiries we see most involve patch repairs that keep failing and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Buttsole? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like Buttsole, 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 typically what’s needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

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
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions about Buttsole
Can you work at a site such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, by Buttsole?
Yes. Our area takes in Buttsole and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Buttsole?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Facades, frames and programmes in Buttsole
Rainfall across the South East, Buttsole included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Buttsole is about 63 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Units on estates such as Birnham Farm Business Centre (to the north-west of Buttsole) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around Buttsole, such as Goodnestone Park, 3.5 miles to the west of Buttsole, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Buttsole is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Anywhere in CT13, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buttsole is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for facade joints. Sites around London have their own page, about 63 miles away.
Anyone looking for facade sealing in CT13 and CT14 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Bigger towns within reach include Canterbury (10 miles west), Margate (10 miles north), Dover (7 miles south), Folkestone (12 miles south-west), Ramsgate (8 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (10 miles north-east).

How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface.
What we’re called out for in Buttsole
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
Projects at schools like Eastry Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Buttsole, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Specification clauses that apply
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
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 phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
