About our facade sealing in Chilham
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are staining on stone next to old sealant and water coming in around window frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Chilham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Chilham bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common problems we fix in Chilham
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Extensions at sites like Kent and Canterbury Hospital (5.3 miles east of Chilham) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
What to look for in a quote
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Contractors’ notes for Chilham
Chilham lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Chilham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
New units and refits on sites such as CMA Industrial Park, 2.8 miles north-east of Chilham, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Chilham is about 5 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. We cover Chilham, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover London, around 49 miles from Chilham.

Quoting for work in Chilham
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Chilham. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Why act early in Chilham
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Halls, stores and units around places like Chilham may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Share access with other external trades
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

Questions about Chilham
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kent and Canterbury Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Chilham, such as CMA Industrial Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Chilham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as CMA Industrial Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will tell you which.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
