Facade sealing in Lydd, done properly
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are facade joints cracked through the middle and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Lydd it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Building work in places the size of Lydd is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Work in places the size of Lydd is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Share access with other external trades
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
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.

Facade sealing in Lydd: the local picture
Lydd is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Lydd sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Peak Industrial Park (to the north-east of Lydd) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as Lydd Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Dolphin Hotel, under half a mile south-west of Lydd, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Lydd is about 11 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Lydd sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 46 miles from Lydd.

What affects the price in Lydd
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Why act early in Lydd
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
