How we handle facade sealing in East Peckham
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Most enquiries from East Peckham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as East Peckham 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Converted and older buildings near places like East Peckham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Questions about East Peckham
Can work at a site such as Hadlow College fit around teaching?
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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around East Peckham 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.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification using a sealant classified for that use.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
Facades, frames and programmes in East Peckham
East Peckham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 29 miles from East Peckham. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Projects at schools like East Peckham Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. With historic properties like Old Soar Manor (to the north-west of East Peckham) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Further education sites such as Hadlow College (to the west of East Peckham) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
