How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Ivy Hatch
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Site teams most often ask us about sealant pulling away from frames or panels and water coming in around window frames, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Ivy Hatch, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Ivy Hatch, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ivy Hatch
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Converted and older buildings near places like Ivy Hatch tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Questions we are asked in Ivy Hatch
Does your area include sites such as Chaucer Business Park, near Ivy Hatch?
Yes. Our area takes in Ivy Hatch and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Chaucer Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Cygnet Hospital Godden Green?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
New build and refits around Ivy Hatch
Ivy Hatch lies roughly 22 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Cygnet Hospital Godden Green (1.8 miles west of Ivy Hatch), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Projects at schools like St Lawrence Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Older buildings in the area around Ivy Hatch, such as Ightham Mote, 0.7 miles south of Ivy Hatch, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
