Facade sealing in Charing Heath
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have failed sealant on precast panel joints and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Charing Heath tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Charing Heath, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Charing Heath: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Charing Heath outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Charing Heath?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you need facade sealing in Charing Heath?
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Older buildings in the area around Charing Heath, such as Godinton House, 4.7 miles south-east of Charing Heath, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

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.
