Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lydden
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Site teams most often ask us about gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and new sealant peeling off old mastic, across stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. For commercial sealant work in Lydden, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Lydden, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Lydden
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Halls, stores and units around places like Lydden may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Common questions from Lydden clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Buckland Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Lydden too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Facade sealing around Lydden: how the place shapes the job
Lydden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. Lydden lies roughly 62 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like White Cliffs Business Park, which lies east of Lydden, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. School extensions, at buildings such as Lydden Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Buckland Hospital (3.1 miles south-east of Lydden), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Lydden is about 3 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Anywhere in CT15, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Lydden. London is covered too, some 62 miles away.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout CT15, for business premises of every kind. Buildings on St Marys Rise, Canterbury Road and The Close are within our area for facade joints. Just outside Lydden, we also work in Coldred (1 mile north), Ewell Minnis (1 mile south-west), Temple Ewell (1 mile south-east), Halfway Street (1 mile north-west) and Wolverton (2 miles south). A short drive away, we cover Canterbury (11 miles north-west), Dover (3 miles south-east), Folkestone (6 miles south-west), Ramsgate (14 miles north-east), Deal (8 miles north-east) and Herne Bay (15 miles north).

When to bring in a specialist
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
