How we handle facade sealing in Five Wents
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you are dealing with discoloured or dirty facade joints and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Five Wents, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Five Wents bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Five Wents can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Facades, frames and programmes in Five Wents
Five Wents is about 35 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Five Wents sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Units on estates such as Park Wood Trading Estate (1.4 miles north-west of Five Wents) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as Sutton Valence Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Around Five Wents

Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Older rural buildings around Five Wents 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.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Do you need facade sealing in Five Wents?
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
University estates such as Canterbury Christ Church University (to the north-east of Five Wents) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Five Wents: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Five Wents, such as Park Wood Trading Estate?
Yes. We cover Five Wents and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Park Wood Trading Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
