How we handle facade sealing in Mystole
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is cold air coming in at window perimeters and new sealant peeling off old mastic. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Mystole first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Mystole is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Mystole, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Why act early in Mystole
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Older rural buildings around Mystole move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Questions about Mystole
Can work at a site such as University of the Creative Arts fit around teaching?
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 work at a site such as Stour Valley Business Park, by Mystole?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Mystole, Stour Valley Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Facade sealing in Mystole: the local picture
Mystole lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When a school such as Chartham Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Building work at universities like University of the Creative Arts, 4.1 miles to the north-east of Mystole, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Extensions at sites like Kent and Canterbury Hospital, 3.8 miles to the east of Mystole, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Mystole is about 4 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. We cover Mystole, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Mystole is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for facade joints. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 50 miles from Mystole.
We take on facade joints across the CT4 postcode area, whatever the building. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Thruxted Lane and Mystole Lane. We also cover Shalmsford Street (1 mile east), Chartham (1 mile north-east), Garlinge Green (1 mile south-east), Chartham Hatch (2 miles north) and Petham (2 miles south-east). Nearby towns on our patch include Ashford (9 miles south-west), Canterbury (4 miles north-east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-east) and Whitstable (7 miles north).
Local landmarks in Mystole
We work on buildings around Broadham Down and Cross Keys Public House. For rail, the closest station is Chartham station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Whitefriars Shopping Centre (3.9 miles north-east) and Chilham Castle (1.9 miles west). The countryside around Mystole includes Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Share access with other external trades
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
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.
