Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. For buildings around smaller places like Chitty, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

How we handle facade sealing in Chitty
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you’re dealing with new sealant peeling off old mastic and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can help, on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Chitty is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites around smaller places like Chitty can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Chitty, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

FAQs: Chitty
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Martins Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Our building in Chitty is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How long do sealant joints 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 follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Chitty can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Building and refurbishing in Chitty
Chitty is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Central London is about 57 miles from Chitty. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Chislet Business Park (to the south-west of Chitty) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as Chislet Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor working at a hospital such as St Martins Hospital (5.8 miles south-west of Chitty), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Chitty is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Anywhere in CT3, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Chitty is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for facade joints. Our London page has more on work in that area.
