About our facade sealing in Herne Bay
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. The enquiries we see most involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Herne Bay, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in a town such as Herne Bay is often smaller schemes: a few new flats, a school extension, a refurbished unit. The perimeter and facade joints on a small scheme need the same sizing and preparation as on a big one.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier

Contractors’ notes for Herne Bay
Herne Bay sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Pier Hotel, 0.6 miles to the north-west of Herne Bay, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. New wings at hospitals like Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital (under half a mile east of Herne Bay) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Herne Bay is about 7 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. Any commercial site in Herne Bay is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 931 places in Kent. London is covered too, some 54 miles away.
Commercial sites across CT6 are covered. Streets here include High Street, Viscount Square and Market Street, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Herne Bay sits on or close to the A299 and B2205, useful when we plan access and materials.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Herne Bay, such as Eddington Business Park?
Yes, sites like Eddington Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Herne Bay. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can being near the sea in Herne Bay affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
General trades versus a 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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Quoting for work in Herne Bay
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Do you need facade sealing in Herne Bay?
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Water coming in around window frames
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Eddington Business Park (0.6 miles south-west of Herne Bay) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
