Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facade sealing in Kencot, done properly
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we are asked to look at most are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Kencot is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Kencot, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Cost factors for facade joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Kencot, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Questions we’re asked in Kencot
Is Kencot too small for you to travel to?
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.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Longworth Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Different surfaces, different methods
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, with primer where its maker specifies.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.

Contractors’ notes for Kencot
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. At about 67 miles from central London, Kencot is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
New wings at hospitals like Longworth Hospital (to the south of Kencot) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Historic houses such as Kelmscott Manor, 4 miles south of Kencot, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For contractors at a school such as St Peter's Church of England School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
