Common questions from Elham clients
Does your area include sites such as Barham Business Park, near Elham?
Yes. We cover Elham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Barham Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Would you work within a site like Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Elham
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Most enquiries involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and discoloured or dirty facade joints, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Elham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Elham 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.
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.

Signs you need facade sealing in Elham
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Water coming in around window frames
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Barham Business Park (2.8 miles north-east of Elham) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Facades, frames and programmes in Elham
Elham is about 57 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
With historic properties like Acrise Place, 1.4 miles south-east of Elham, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Abbot's Fireside Hotel, less than half a mile north of Elham, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Elham is about 5 miles north-west of Folkestone, in Kent. If you’re looking for facade sealing in Elham, we can help, as we do across Kent. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Why it’s worth doing now in Elham
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Older rural buildings around Elham 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.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- CHAS accredited
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
