Facade sealing in Offham, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have air leaks through failed facade joints and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Offham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Offham is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Providing access systems for the work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Facade sealing in Offham: the local picture
Offham is about 25 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The area within 2 miles of Offham holds several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Projects at schools like Offham Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Work at a hotel such as Bear Hotel, 1.5 miles east of Offham, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. Older buildings in the area around Offham, such as Old Soar Manor, which lies south-west of Offham, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

What else we do in Offham
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Common questions from Offham clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Maidstone Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you take on work at estates like Kings Hill Business Park, close to Offham?
Yes. We cover Offham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Kings Hill Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Quoting for work in Offham
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Offham can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
