Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Capel
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. Most enquiries involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and new sealant peeling off old mastic, on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Capel tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Capel, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Capel need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let building users know which areas are affected

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Specification clauses that apply
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Facade sealing around Capel: how the place shapes the job
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 29 miles from Capel. 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.
For contractors on a campus like University of Kent - Tonbridge, which lies west of Capel, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Projects at schools like Capel Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hospital estates such as Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury (to the south-west of Capel) 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.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
