FAQs: Hale
Our building in Hale is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you work at a site such as Gillingham Business Park, by Hale?
Yes. We cover Hale and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gillingham Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Will rain stop the work?
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.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Hale
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hale tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Hale, 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

More services for Hale
Do you need facade sealing in Hale?
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Projects at colleges like MidKent College Gillingham Campus (to the north of Hale) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their public liability cover
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. If others near Hale need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Building and refurbishing in Hale
Hale is within about 3 miles of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. A 2-mile radius around Hale takes in several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors at a school such as Kingfisher Community Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New wings at hospitals like Medway Maritime Hospital (1.3 miles north-west of Hale) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
