Facade sealing in Chartham Hatch
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. 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. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and previous reseals run over old sealant.

Sites around smaller places like Chartham Hatch can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- 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.

Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Converted and older buildings near places like Chartham Hatch tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Chartham Hatch outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Kent for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What we’re called out for in Chartham Hatch
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
School extensions, at buildings such as The Canterbury Academy, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
