About our facade sealing in Iden
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you are dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Iden from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Iden, building work typically 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.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Iden
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Halls, stores and units around places like Iden may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Iden are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Advice
Questions about Iden
Can you work at a site such as Jempson Trading Estate, by Iden?
Yes. Our area takes in Iden and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Jempson Trading Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Iden outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Sites and facades in and around Iden
The area within 2 miles of Iden holds a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors at a school such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Units on estates such as Jempson Trading Estate, 2.3 miles south of Iden, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Historic houses such as Lamb House (2.2 miles south of Iden) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
