Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lunsford
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and new sealant peeling off old mastic. Most enquiries from Lunsford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a smaller place such as Lunsford, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Doing it in-house
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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
New build and refits around Lunsford
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Lunsford. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Lunsford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Building work at universities like University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone (to the south-east of Lunsford) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Extensions at sites like Maidstone Hospital, 3.2 miles to the south-east of Lunsford, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors refurbishing units at places like New Hythe Business Park, which lies east of Lunsford, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Lunsford is about 5 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Any commercial site in Lunsford is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, around 26 miles from Lunsford.

Your questions answered
Is Lunsford too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Maidstone Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Commercial clients in Lunsford
