Facade sealing in Eynsford, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant pulling away from frames or panels and damp patches beside frames after rain. Whoever orders the work in Eynsford, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Eynsford, 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 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Your questions answered
Is Eynsford too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Southern Cross Industrial Estate, by Eynsford?
Yes, sites like Southern Cross Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Eynsford. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.

When to call us in Eynsford
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Water coming in around window frames
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
Historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle, 1 mile to the south-west of Eynsford, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Eynsford, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out 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.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
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 suits most frame-to-wall joints finished to throw water off the joint.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
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.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Building and refurbishing in Eynsford
Eynsford has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Eynsford lies roughly 16 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Castle Hotel, which lies north-east of Eynsford, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. On a healthcare site such as Darenth Park Hospital (5.1 miles north-east of Eynsford), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
