What affects the price in Murston
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How we handle facade sealing in Murston
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cladding panel joints that have opened up and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Whoever orders the work in Murston, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as Murston, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Signs you need facade sealing in Murston
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
When units on a site such as Kent Science Park (to the south-west of Murston) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Murston affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like KITE College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will tell you which.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Mastic packages on Murston sites
Murston is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Murston. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Projects at schools like Sunny Bank Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, which lies south-west of Murston, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Murston is about 1 mile east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Murston use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Murston is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. London is covered too, some 38 miles away.

Around Murston
We work on buildings around Sittingbourne Community College, Milton Creek Country Park and The New Inn. For rail, the closest station is Sittingbourne station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (under half a mile west) and Bayford Court (less than half a mile west).
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Murston need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- 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.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
