Facade sealing for Faversham sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
How we handle facade sealing in Faversham
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. Whoever orders the work in Faversham, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in a town such as Faversham is often smaller schemes: a few new flats, a school extension, a refurbished unit. A mastic package on a smaller site still needs the same care at window perimeters and facade joints.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Faversham: questions and answers
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Faversham?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does a coastal location like Faversham affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is colour matching possible?
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 will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Facade sealing around Faversham: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Faversham. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Faversham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (to the south-west of Faversham) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Projects at schools like Ethelbert Road Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hotels like The Ship Hotel, under half a mile east of Faversham, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Faversham is about 9 miles west of Canterbury, in Kent. We send applicators to Faversham for facade joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. We also cover London, around 44 miles from Faversham.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Commercial clients in Faversham
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Faversham can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Why deal with it now?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. In Faversham, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Diagnose, treat, 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. For a town like Faversham, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit, with one quote covering them. Tell us when the building is open and we’ll plan to suit.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
