Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Dancers Hill
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you are dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts around frames and panels, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Dancers Hill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Dancers Hill, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What else we do in Dancers Hill
Quoting for work in Dancers Hill
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Smaller jobs around Dancers Hill can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Common questions from Dancers Hill clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Potters Bar Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you take on work at estates like Wrotham Business Park, close to Dancers Hill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Dancers Hill, Wrotham Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Providing access systems for the work
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
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 and cuts time on site.

Central London is about 14 miles from Dancers Hill.
