Facade sealing in Littlebourne
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and leaks at window and door perimeters, on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Littlebourne it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Littlebourne 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Littlebourne as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure. Halls, stores and units around places like Littlebourne may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Clear, fixed quotes
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Common problems we fix in Littlebourne
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Look out for the following:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Units on estates such as Wingham Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles east of Littlebourne, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
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.

Facade sealing around Littlebourne: how the place shapes the job
Littlebourne lies roughly 56 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
School extensions, at buildings such as Littlebourne Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. With historic properties like Goodnestone Park, 3.5 miles to the south-east of Littlebourne, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Saint Martin's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
