Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
How we handle facade sealing in Henley Street
Managing agents and owners in Henley Street ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Henley Street, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Henley Street is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in Henley Street
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Jobs in and around smaller places like Henley Street are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, 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.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Henley Street off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and 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.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Gravesham Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
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, and we build that into the programme.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Providing access systems for the work
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
New build and refits around Henley Street
Henley Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Henley Street is about 23 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
When units on a site such as Bowes Industrial Centre (2.2 miles south-west of Henley Street) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. With historic properties like Cobham College, 0.8 miles north of Henley Street, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Hospital estates such as Gravesham Community Hospital, 4.7 miles to the north of Henley Street, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Henley Street is about 4 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Commercial clients in Henley Street use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. Sites around London have their own page, about 23 miles away.

Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Halls, stores and units around places like Henley Street may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
