Facade sealing in Flemings
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. Site teams most often ask us about cladding panel joints that have opened up and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, across window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Flemings it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Flemings, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Questions we’re asked in Flemings
Is Flemings off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Flemings, such as Birnham Farm Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Flemings and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and we will price the work around it.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
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 confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Flemings need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Advice
Sites and facades in and around Flemings
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 61 miles from Flemings. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
When units on a site such as Birnham Farm Business Centre (to the south-east of Flemings) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at schools like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Lion Hotel, 1 mile to the north of Flemings, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Flemings is about 6 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. We send applicators to Flemings for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Our London page has more on work in that area (61 miles or so).
We take on facade joints across the CT13 postcode area, whatever the building.

Around Flemings
We work on buildings around The Black Pig Inn and Sandwich Technology School and the streets around them. The closest station to Flemings is Sandwich station, about 2.8 miles east. A little further out are White Mill (2.4 miles north-east). Not far away are Monk's Wall nature reserve.
Why act early in Flemings
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. For buildings around smaller places like Flemings, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
