Facade sealing across Lyminge
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Lyminge, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

How we handle facade sealing in Lyminge
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and new sealant peeling off old mastic. Most enquiries from Lyminge 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.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Lyminge bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Contractors’ notes for Lyminge
Lyminge 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. At about 57 miles from central London, Lyminge is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
School extensions, at buildings such as Lyminge Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Hospital estates such as Royal Victoria Hospital (to the south-east of Lyminge) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Lyminge is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Any commercial site in Lyminge is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Lyminge. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 57 miles from Lyminge.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Around Lyminge, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Lyminge: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal Victoria Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Lyminge too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Common problems we fix in Lyminge
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Water coming in around window frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Older buildings in the area around Lyminge, such as Acrise Place, which lies east of Lyminge, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The named product and why it was chosen
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Providing access systems for the work
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
