Facade sealing for Frinsted sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:

  • Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
  • Installing or repairing glazing systems
  • Render or concrete edges that have broken away

If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Shopfront frames
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Cladding panel joints

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Frinsted

Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Site teams most often ask us about draughts around frames and panels and discoloured or dirty facade joints, on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Frinsted first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.

Sites around smaller places like Frinsted can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.

Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Mastic packages on Frinsted sites

Frinsted is about 37 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Frinsted 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.

When units on a site such as Kent Science Park (to the north-east of Frinsted) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. University estates such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 1.5 miles south-west of Frinsted, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Frinsted is about 4 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We send applicators to Frinsted for facade joints. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 37 miles away.

Anyone looking for facade sealing in ME9 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Among the streets we cover are The Street, Bottom Pond Road and Dray's Field, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Close to Frinsted, our area also takes in Milstead (1 mile north-east), Hollybushes (2 miles east), Bluetown (2 miles east), Wichling (2 miles east) and West Street (2 miles south-east). A short drive away, we cover Maidstone (8 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (4 miles north), Whitstable (15 miles east), Faversham (8 miles east) and Minster (10 miles north-east).

When to bring in a specialist

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 where general trades tend to cut corners.

Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

Owners, agents and contractors

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Frinsted. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Frinsted are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
  2. We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
  3. We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
  4. Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
  5. Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
  • Make sure the joints can be reached

Frinsted: questions and answers

Is Frinsted too small for you to travel to?

No. Places such as Frinsted are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University fit around teaching?

Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

Does the weather affect the work?

For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

Do you seal facades in winter?

Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

What we’re called out for in Frinsted

Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Patch repairs that keep failing
  • Leaks at window and door perimeters
  • Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
  • Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames

When a school such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Before you book anyone

  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Quoting for work in Frinsted

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Details that help us quote

Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:

  • Any dates the work must fit around
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
