Facade sealing in Hickmans Green, done properly
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Hickmans Green. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you are dealing with new sealant peeling off old mastic and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help, on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hickmans Green it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

Do you need facade sealing in Hickmans Green?
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (5.4 miles east of Hickmans Green), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hickmans Green
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Around Hickmans Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

New build and refits around Hickmans Green
At about 48 miles from central London, Hickmans Green is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Hickmans Green 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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors on a campus like University of Kent (4.7 miles east of Hickmans Green), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. When units on a site such as Waterham Business Park (to the north of Hickmans Green) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Questions we are asked in Hickmans Green
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Kent?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Hickmans Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
