Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
Facade sealing in Cliffe Woods, done properly
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and discoloured or dirty facade joints, on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters.

Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Cliffe Woods 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 normally what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to call us in Cliffe Woods
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Older buildings in the area around Cliffe Woods, such as Temple Manor, which lies south of Cliffe Woods, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Smaller jobs around Cliffe Woods can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached

The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Cliffe Woods. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Cliffe Woods lies roughly 26 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.

Cliffe Woods: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as French Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Greenwich - Medway for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
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 as the work goes on.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
