About our facade sealing in Highstreet
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals run over old sealant and damp patches beside frames after rain. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Highstreet tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In the countryside around places like Highstreet, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Highstreet as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Highstreet, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Contractors’ notes for Highstreet
Highstreet sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. 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. Highstreet is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors on a campus like University of Kent (3.9 miles south-east of Highstreet), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Crescent Turner Hotel, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Highstreet, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Highstreet is about 3 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Highstreet use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. For work in that direction, see our London page.
We cover the ME13 postcode districts. For a building on Thanet Way and Highstreet Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for facade joints. Just outside Highstreet, we also work in Waterham (1 mile west), Dargate (1 mile south-west), Seasalter (1 mile north), Hernhill (2 miles south-west) and Slutshole (2 miles south-west). A short drive away, we cover Ashford (14 miles south), Canterbury (5 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles west), Whitstable (3 miles north-east), Faversham (4 miles west) and Herne Bay (7 miles north-east).
Near you in Highstreet
We work on buildings around Foxes Cross Bottom. The nearest railway station is Whitstable station, about 3 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (3.6 miles north-east) and Tankerton Castle (3.3 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
Why act early in Highstreet
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Highstreet. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Commercial sealant work since 2005

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Quoting for work in Highstreet
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Questions about Highstreet
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as 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.
Our building in Highstreet is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. That is what makes the new joint last.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
When to call us in Highstreet
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
New wings at hospitals like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, 3.6 miles north-east of Highstreet, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
