Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Kempe's Corner
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you’re dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Kempe's Corner, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Kempe's Corner bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common questions from Kempe's Corner clients
Does your area include sites such as Eurogate Business Park, near Kempe's Corner?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kempe's Corner, Eurogate Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Kempe's Corner too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will rain stop the work?
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.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and we will price the work around it.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kempe's Corner
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 Kempe's Corner. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Kempe's Corner, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Kempe's Corner. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Older buildings in the area around Kempe's Corner, such as Godinton House, 3.8 miles south-west of Kempe's Corner, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New units and refits on sites such as Eurogate Business Park (2.4 miles south-west of Kempe's Corner) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Common problems we fix in Kempe's Corner
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Water coming in around window frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
On a healthcare site such as The One Ashford Hospital, 2.8 miles south of Kempe's Corner, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
