Facades, frames and programmes in Leigh Green
A 2-mile radius around Leigh Green takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Leigh Green lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For contractors at a school such as Tenterden Church of England Junior School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For a contractor working at a hospital such as West View Hospital, which lies west of Leigh Green, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Leigh Green is about 8 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN30, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Leigh Green. Brighton is covered too, some 40 miles away.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Leigh Green
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. 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. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are leaks at window and door perimeters and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. For commercial sealant work in Leigh Green, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Leigh Green, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
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.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Leigh Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photos, 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 both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Providing access systems for the work
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings around smaller places like Leigh Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

Signs you need facade sealing in Leigh Green
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
New units and refits on sites such as Pickhill Business Centre (1.1 miles south-west of Leigh Green) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Questions we’re asked in Leigh Green
Does your area include sites such as Pickhill Business Centre, near Leigh Green?
Yes, sites like Pickhill Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Leigh Green. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West View Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
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, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
