What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint.
About our facade sealing in Greatstone-on-Sea
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. 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. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames after rain and patch repairs that keep failing. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Greatstone-on-Sea, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Why it’s worth doing now in Greatstone-on-Sea
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Around Greatstone-on-Sea, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Facade sealing in Greatstone-on-Sea: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Greatstone-on-Sea counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Rainfall across the South East, Greatstone-on-Sea included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Peak Industrial Park, 2.2 miles to the south-west of Greatstone-on-Sea, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Projects at schools like Greatstone Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Work at a hotel such as Littlestone Hotel, 1 mile to the north of Greatstone-on-Sea, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Greatstone-on-Sea is about 9 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Any commercial site in Greatstone-on-Sea is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 931 places in Kent. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page.

FAQs: Greatstone-on-Sea
Is Greatstone-on-Sea too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Greatstone-on-Sea is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Peak Industrial Park, by Greatstone-on-Sea?
Yes. Our area takes in Greatstone-on-Sea and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Peak Industrial Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Greatstone-on-Sea, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
