Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Around Kingsdown, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

Facade sealing in Kingsdown
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. 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. The enquiries we see most involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kingsdown? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Kingsdown 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Common questions from Kingsdown clients
Is Kingsdown too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Mastic packages on Kingsdown sites
Kingsdown is about 40 miles from central London. 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. Kingsdown is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Kingsdown, such as Belmont House and Gardens, which lies south-east of Kingsdown, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Projects at schools like The Sittingbourne School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Kent Science Park (2 miles north-west of Kingsdown) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Kingsdown is about 3 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Looking for facade sealing in Kingsdown? We can help, as we do across Kent. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Kingsdown among them. We also cover London, around 40 miles from Kingsdown.
