About our facade sealing in Hammer Bottom
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Hammer Bottom. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and facade joints cracked through the middle, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hammer Bottom tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Hammer Bottom 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Contractors’ notes for Hammer Bottom
Hammer Bottom is about 41 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Hammer Bottom is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Extensions at sites like Holy Cross Hospital (1.1 miles east of Hammer Bottom) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Units on estates such as Kings Road Industrial Estate (1.4 miles east of Hammer Bottom) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Questions about Hammer Bottom
Is Hammer Bottom off your patch?
Not at all. Hammer Bottom is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Holy Cross Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Cost factors for facade joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Hammer Bottom, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

What else we do in Hammer Bottom
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Do you need facade sealing in Hammer Bottom?
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Water coming in around window frames
School extensions, at buildings such as Woolmer Hill School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
