Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Dymchurch
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant on precast panel joints and water coming in around window frames, across cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Providing access systems for the work
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For a site in Dymchurch, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start with photos, 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 is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Contractors’ notes for Dymchurch
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Dymchurch. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Dymchurch sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors at a school such as Dymchurch Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle, 4.5 miles to the north of Dymchurch, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Your questions answered
Our building in Dymchurch is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Dymchurch?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, describe the access.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
