Facade sealing in Markbeech
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you’re dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Markbeech from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like Markbeech can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

New build and refits around Markbeech
Rainfall across the South East, Markbeech included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 25 miles from Markbeech. 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.
For contractors at a school such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. With historic properties like Hever Castle (to the north of Markbeech) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Markbeech 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. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Common problems we fix in Markbeech
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Hospital estates such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital (2.4 miles north-west of Markbeech) 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.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
