About our facade sealing in Lower Bush
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have cold air coming in at window perimeters and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lower Bush from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Lower Bush 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Facade sealing around Lower Bush: how the place shapes the job
Rainfall across the South East, Lower Bush included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Lower Bush is about 24 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
School extensions, at buildings such as Cuxton Community Infant School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as French Hospital, which lies east of Lower Bush, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Lower Bush is about 3 miles west of Rochester, in Medway. Across the ME2 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Medway, 54 places are covered, including Lower Bush. London is covered too, some 24 miles away.

Do you need facade sealing in Lower Bush?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
Older buildings in the area around Lower Bush, such as Starkey Castle (1.4 miles south-east of Lower Bush), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like French Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Strood Retail Park, near Lower Bush?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lower Bush, Strood Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. For buildings around smaller places like Lower Bush, 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.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
