Facade sealing in Oad Street, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are draughts around frames and panels and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Oad Street tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Oad Street, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
Facade sealing in Oad Street: the local picture
Oad Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Oad Street is about 35 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors at a school such as Borden Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a healthcare site such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, 2.5 miles east of Oad Street, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Building work at universities like Canterbury Christ Church University (4.1 miles south of Oad Street) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Oad Street is about 3 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Oad Street use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Kent.

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions we’re asked in Oad Street
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Newington Industrial Estate, near Oad Street, within your area?
Yes, sites like Newington Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Oad Street. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Oad Street are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

What happens if it’s left?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Halls, stores and units around places like Oad Street may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
