Why it’s worth doing now in Four Elms
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Four Elms, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

How we handle facade sealing in Four Elms
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. The enquiries we see most involve facade joints cracked through the middle and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Four Elms first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Four Elms 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 is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Jobs in and around smaller places like Four Elms are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
New build and refits around Four Elms
A 2-mile radius around Four Elms takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Four Elms sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Work at a hotel such as Hever Hotel, 1.5 miles south-east of Four Elms, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors at a school such as Four Elms Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
