About our facade sealing in Foxendown
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Most enquiries involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and previous reseals run over old sealant, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Foxendown, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Foxendown, 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 is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Foxendown, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Why act early in Foxendown
Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Older rural buildings around Foxendown 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.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

New build and refits around Foxendown
Foxendown is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Foxendown lies roughly 22 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
School extensions, at buildings such as Meopham Community Academy, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. New units and refits on sites such as Bowes Industrial Centre, 1 mile south-west of Foxendown, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Older buildings in the area around Foxendown, such as Cobham College, which lies north-east of Foxendown, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
