Facade sealing in Fawkham Green
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Cost factors for facade joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Facade sealing in Fawkham Green
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve water coming in around window frames and failed sealant on precast panel joints, across coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fawkham Green is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Fawkham Green, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Fawkham Green
Mastic packages on Fawkham Green sites
Rainfall across the South East, Fawkham Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Fawkham Green. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Hotels like Brands Hatch Hotel (0.5 miles south-west of Fawkham Green) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Heaver Farm Trading Estate, which lies south-east of Fawkham Green, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. With historic properties like Lullingstone Castle (3.6 miles west of Fawkham Green) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Why act early in Fawkham Green
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Older rural buildings around Fawkham Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much 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.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Common questions from Fawkham Green clients
Will you take on work at estates like Heaver Farm Trading Estate, close to Fawkham Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Fawkham Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Heaver Farm Trading Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Fawkham Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
