What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Kent Street
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Most enquiries involve sealant pulling away from frames or panels and failed sealant on precast panel joints, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Kent Street, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Kent Street is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

Common questions from Kent Street clients
Will you take on work at estates like Kings Hill Business Park, close to Kent Street?
Yes, sites like Kings Hill Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Kent Street. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Maidstone Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What we’re called out for in Kent Street
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
For contractors on a campus like University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, 5 miles east of Kent Street, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Before you book anyone
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. If others near Kent Street need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree 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.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Why it’s worth doing now in Kent Street
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Kent Street, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Building and refurbishing in Kent Street
Kent Street lies roughly 26 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. 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.
School extensions, at buildings such as Kings Hill School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Older buildings in the area around Kent Street, such as Old Soar Manor, 2.8 miles to the west of Kent Street, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
