About our facade sealing in Chartway Street
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Site teams most often ask us about weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and water coming in around window frames, across cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Chartway Street? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Chartway Street bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch.
Chartway Street: questions and answers
Could you schedule work at a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. 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 at a site such as Park Wood Trading Estate, by Chartway Street?
Yes, sites like Park Wood Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Chartway Street. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure. For buildings around smaller places like Chartway Street, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Why appoint us
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Failed material removed, not covered up
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Sites and facades in and around Chartway Street
At about 36 miles from central London, Chartway Street is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
New wings at hospitals like KIMS hospital (5.1 miles north-west of Chartway Street) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Kingswood Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. 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.
When to call us in Chartway Street
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Building work at universities like Canterbury Christ Church University (to the north-east of Chartway Street) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
