Your questions answered
Is Chartham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of the Creative Arts?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.

Facade sealing in Chartham, 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. If you are dealing with water coming in around window frames and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Chartham? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places like Chartham, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Chartham
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
New units and refits on sites such as Stour Valley Business Park, 0.7 miles to the north-east of Chartham, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.

What else we do in Chartham
What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Converted and older buildings near places like Chartham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
