Facade sealing in Forstal
Managing agents and owners in Forstal ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and leaks at window and door perimeters, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Forstal, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Forstal can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What else we do in Forstal
What we can’t put right

- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Mastic packages on Forstal sites
Forstal has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Forstal is about 29 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Projects at schools like St Peter's Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Units on estates such as Mid Kent Shopping Centre (to the south of Forstal) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor working at a hospital such as The Somerfield Hospital (1.9 miles south of Forstal), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Forstal is about 3 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Forstal use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Forstal is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Forstal: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like The Somerfield Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Forstal, such as Mid Kent Shopping Centre?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Forstal, Mid Kent Shopping Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
