About our facade sealing in Heart's Delight
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you’re dealing with weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Heart's Delight from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Heart's Delight 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 normally what’s needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Heart's Delight are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Mastic packages on Heart's Delight sites
Heart's Delight sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Heart's Delight is about 58 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
New wings at hospitals like Kent and Canterbury Hospital (to the north-west of Heart's Delight) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. New units and refits on sites such as Barham Business Park (to the south of Heart's Delight) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. With historic properties like Acrise Place (4.4 miles south of Heart's Delight) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Heart's Delight is about 6 miles north of Hawkinge, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Heart's Delight, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. We also cover London, around 58 miles from Heart's Delight.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- Access and working height
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Questions about Heart's Delight
Can you work on a hospital site such as Kent and Canterbury Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Heart's Delight too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Halls, stores and units around places like Heart's Delight may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
