Cost factors for facade joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
About our facade sealing in Istead Rise
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames after rain and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Istead Rise tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Istead Rise, building work normally 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 behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Rural sites near Istead Rise may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected

FAQs: Istead Rise
Is a hospital such as Gravesham Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you cover Istead Rise?
Yes. We cover Istead Rise and the rest of Kent. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Facades, frames and programmes in Istead Rise
Istead Rise lies roughly 20 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Istead Rise. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Units on estates such as Fawkham Business Park, 2.5 miles to the west of Istead Rise, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Work at a hotel such as Tollgate Hotel (0.9 miles north-east of Istead Rise) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as Gravesham Community Hospital, 2.7 miles to the north of Istead Rise, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Older rural buildings around Istead Rise 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.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
