Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, 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 Newtown need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open

How we handle facade sealing in Newtown
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and leaks at window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Newtown tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
On a small site around Newtown, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Questions about Newtown
Can you work on a hospital site such as The One Ashford Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Ashford College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
When can you be on site?
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Common problems we fix in Newtown
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Units on estates such as Gallagher Retail Park, 0.5 miles to the north-west of Newtown, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
New build and refits around Newtown
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, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Newtown is about 49 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.
Extensions at sites like The One Ashford Hospital, 1.7 miles north-east of Newtown, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When a school such as East Stour Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Newtown is about 1 mile south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Newtown use us for work on facade joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Sites around Brighton have their own page, about 48 miles away.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout TN24 and TN23, for business premises of every kind. Streets here include Bath Road, Mead Road and Royds Road. If your building is just outside Newtown, we cover South Willesborough (1 mile north-east), Park Farm (1 mile south-west), Willesborough (1 mile north-east), Ashford (1 mile north-west) and Finberry (1 mile south-east). Bigger towns within reach include Canterbury (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (13 miles east), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (10 miles south-east), Davington (13 miles north) and Preston (12 miles north).
What’s near Newtown
We work on buildings around The North School, The Albion Inn and Ashford Green Corridors. The nearest railway station is Ashford International station, roughly 0.9 miles north. A little further out are Ashford Designer Outlet (0.5 miles north) and William Harvey Hospital (1.7 miles north-east). Not far away are Hatch Park.
What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. In a smaller place such as Newtown, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
