Facade sealing in Mowshurst
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. The enquiries we see most involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, across coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Mowshurst tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Mowshurst bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Mowshurst as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Your questions answered
Is Mowshurst off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Mowshurst?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Mowshurst, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Halls, stores and units around places like Mowshurst may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why appoint us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

Building and refurbishing in Mowshurst
Mowshurst is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Mowshurst is about 21 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Albion Hotel (0.6 miles west of Mowshurst), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Projects at schools like Edenbridge Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Mowshurst is about 7 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Mowshurst for work on facade joints. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, some 21 miles away.
Commercial sites across TN8 are covered for facade joints. We also cover Marlpit Hill (1 mile west), Edenbridge (1 mile south-west), Pootings (1 mile north), Four Elms (1 mile north-east) and Troy Town (1 mile west) for facade joints. Nearby towns on our patch include Sevenoaks (7 miles north-east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south-east), Tonbridge (9 miles east), Swanley (14 miles north), Kings Hill (15 miles east) and Paddock Wood (14 miles east).
Local landmarks in Mowshurst
Recent enquiries here include premises near The Swan pub, among other places. The nearest railway station is Edenbridge station, roughly 0.6 miles west. Nearby you will also find Haxted Watermill Museum (2.3 miles south-west) and Hever Castle (2.3 miles south-east).
Common problems we fix in Mowshurst
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Look out for the following:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
New wings at hospitals like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital (to the south of Mowshurst) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
