Facade sealing in Grafty Green, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. Site teams most often ask us about hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and discoloured or dirty facade joints, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Grafty Green it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Grafty Green bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. For buildings around smaller places like Grafty Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Grafty Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Grafty Green are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Providing access systems for the work
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Facade sealing around Grafty Green: points for this area
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Grafty Green is about 39 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
New units and refits on sites such as Roebuck Business Park, 2.3 miles to the north of Grafty Green, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Older buildings in the area around Grafty Green, such as Leeds Castle, 3.5 miles to the north-west of Grafty Green, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Grafty Green is about 8 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Commercial clients in Grafty Green use us for work on facade joints. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Grafty Green. Sites around London have their own page, about 39 miles away.

Signs you need facade sealing in Grafty Green
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
University estates such as Canterbury Christ Church University (to the north of Grafty Green) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Before you book anyone

These are the things that shape the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
