Facade sealing for Herne Common sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Quoting for work in Herne Common

Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:

  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Which sealant the job calls for

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Before you send an enquiry

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • When you need the work done
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Facade sealing in Herne Common, done properly

We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. The enquiries we see most involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and patch repairs that keep failing, across cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Herne Common? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Around smaller places like Herne Common, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Your questions answered

Can you work at a site such as Eddington Business Park, by Herne Common?

Yes, sites like Eddington Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Herne Common. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Is Herne Common too far out for you?

No. Places such as Herne Common are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can the sealant be colour-matched?

That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Can you send site paperwork?

Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

How do I request a quote?

It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.

Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?

Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.

Honest limits

Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Damaged frames that need replacing
  • Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
  • Providing access systems for the work

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work in Herne Common

  • Cladding panel joints
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Shopfront frames
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Stone and brick facade joints

After the work

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:

  • Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
  • Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
  • Record the product and colour used on each elevation
  • Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed

Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.

Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.

New build and refits around Herne Common

Herne Common lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Herne Common. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.

When a school such as Herne Church of England Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hospital estates such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, 1.9 miles to the north-east of Herne Common, 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. New units and refits on sites such as Eddington Business Park (1.4 miles north of Herne Common) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Herne Common is about 2 miles south of Herne Bay, in Kent. Herne Common sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

How a job runs

Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Herne Common, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

  1. Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
  4. Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
  5. Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Agree which areas must stay open

Work for main contractors and building owners

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Herne Common can form part of a wider programme across Kent.

Why deal with it now?

Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Older rural buildings around Herne Common move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Why appoint us

  • A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
