How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint.
Facade sealing in North Street
Managing agents and owners in North Street ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. A single leaking joint is often how a building in North Street first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like North Street, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

Advice
Common questions from North Street clients
What site paperwork comes with a job in North Street?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is a smaller place like North Street outside your area?
No. Places such as North Street are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you fit around our working hours?
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.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
When to call us in North Street
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
School extensions, at buildings such as Sheldwich Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Sites and facades in and around North Street
At about 45 miles from central London, North Street is within reach of the capital. 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. North Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Hotels like Premier Inn Faversham Hotel, 1.3 miles to the north of North Street, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, 2 miles to the south-west of North Street, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
North Street is about 2 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. We cover North Street and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. North Street is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. London is covered too, some 45 miles away.

Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Converted and older buildings near places like North Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
