How we handle facade sealing in Herne Pound
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you’re dealing with failed sealant on precast panel joints and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Herne Pound is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Herne Pound bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Share access with other external trades
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Common problems we fix in Herne Pound
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
When a school such as Mereworth Community Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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 the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Why act early in Herne Pound
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Around Herne Pound, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Your questions answered
Is Herne Pound too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Herne Pound is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Herne Pound, such as The Alders Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Herne Pound, The Alders Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Advice
Mastic packages on Herne Pound sites
Rainfall across the South East, Herne Pound included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 26 miles from Herne Pound. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.

When units on a site such as The Alders Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles to the south of Herne Pound, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
