How the job changes by surface
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.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
How we handle facade sealing in Marley
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Most enquiries involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and cladding panel joints that have opened up, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Whoever orders the work in Marley, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Marley, 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. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
What affects the price in Marley
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

FAQs: Marley
Is Marley off your patch?
No. Places such as Marley are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can work at a site such as University for the Creative Arts fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Sites and facades in and around Marley
Marley is about 57 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (4.7 miles north-east of Marley) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For contractors on a campus like University for the Creative Arts (4.8 miles north of Marley), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. When units on a site such as Barham Business Park (to the south of Marley) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
