Facade sealing in Caring, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. Site teams most often ask us about draughts around frames and panels and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Caring first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Caring is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Caring as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why act early in Caring
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 early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Converted and older buildings near places like Caring tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Mastic packages on Caring sites
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Caring. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Caring lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Work at a hotel such as Tudor Park Hotel, 0.7 miles north of Caring, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Park Wood Trading Estate (1.7 miles south-west of Caring), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

FAQs: Caring
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Caring outside your area?
No. Places such as Caring are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
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. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
