When to call us in Godmersham
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Extensions at sites like William Harvey Hospital (5.8 miles south of Godmersham) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

About our facade sealing in Godmersham
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. The enquiries we see most involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and damp patches beside frames after rain, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Godmersham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Godmersham, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
Why act early in Godmersham
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Around Godmersham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.

- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.

Godmersham: questions and answers
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Godmersham?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Godmersham too far out for you?
No. Places such as Godmersham are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call 01277 525 020 or email us, describe the access, and we’ll plan the work with you.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Godmersham
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Mastic packages on Godmersham sites
Godmersham lies roughly 50 miles out 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. Godmersham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
On any site in or around Godmersham, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
