Why deal with it now?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Converted and older buildings near places like Chattenden tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Facade sealing in Chattenden, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Chattenden ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have new sealant peeling off old mastic and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Chattenden, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Chattenden, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Chattenden outside your area?
No. Places such as Chattenden are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Medway Maritime Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Contractors’ notes for Chattenden
Chattenden lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
When a college such as MidKent College Gillingham Campus, 1.9 miles to the south of Chattenden, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. For contractors on a campus like University of Greenwich - Medway (1.5 miles south of Chattenden), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Signs you need facade sealing in Chattenden
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Projects at schools like Chattenden Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Share access with other external trades
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
