Need facade sealing in Dungeness?

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Facade sealing in Dungeness
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you’re dealing with staining on stone next to old sealant and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can help, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Dungeness, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Dungeness is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Facades, frames and programmes in Dungeness
Dungeness is within about 1 mile of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
On any site in or around Dungeness, the mastic follows the specification and the programme. Around Dungeness, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.

FAQs: Dungeness
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Dungeness?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Dungeness change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If others near Dungeness need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready

- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Dungeness. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
What affects the price in Dungeness
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
