How we handle facade sealing in Drellingore
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you have facade joints cracked through the middle and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Drellingore tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In the countryside around places like Drellingore, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Older rural buildings around Drellingore move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Questions about Drellingore
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University Centre Folkestone?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Victoria Hospital?
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.
Do you cover Drellingore?
Yes. Drellingore is in our area and the rest of Kent, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Common problems we fix in Drellingore
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Hospital estates such as Royal Victoria Hospital, 2.9 miles south-west of Drellingore, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Building and refurbishing in Drellingore
Drellingore 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, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Central London is about 62 miles from Drellingore. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Building work at universities like University Centre Folkestone (to the south of Drellingore) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. With historic properties like Acrise Place (to the west of Drellingore) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Drellingore are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex.
