Owners, agents and contractors

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.

Facade sealing in Marley, 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. If you are dealing with perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Marley, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Around smaller places like Marley, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Do you need facade sealing in Marley?

When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
  • Staining on stone next to old sealant
  • Cladding panel joints that have opened up
  • Patch repairs that keep failing

Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Birnham Farm Business Centre (to the north-west of Marley) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Before you book anyone

  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

How to choose a sealant contractor

From enquiry to sign-off

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If others near Marley need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
  2. Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
  3. Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
  4. Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
  5. The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
  6. The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Before we start on site

  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Send your site hours and access windows

Precast concrete panels

Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints, not the framing or glazing itself.

New build and refits around Marley

With the shore within about 3 miles, Marley counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.

With historic properties like Walmer Castle (3.5 miles south-east of Marley) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. On a healthcare site such as Victoria Hospital (2.3 miles south-east of Marley), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Marley is about 3 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Across the CT14 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. Sites around London have their own page, about 65 miles away.

Common questions from Marley clients

Do you cover business parks and estates near Marley, such as Birnham Farm Business Centre?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Marley, Birnham Farm Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Is Marley too small for you to travel to?

No. Places such as Marley are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Can you work on upper floors?

Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.

Which sealant will you use?

The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

How many days will you need on site?

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

When can you be on site?

We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Aftercare for building managers

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
  • Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
  • Record the product and colour used on each elevation
  • Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed

Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.

Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

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.

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
