Advice
Facade sealing in Orlestone, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you are dealing with water coming in around window frames and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

FAQs: Orlestone
Would you work within a site like William Harvey Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work at a site such as Meadow View Business Park, by Orlestone?
Yes, sites like Meadow View Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Orlestone. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will be honest about which it is.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll plan the work with you.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Facades, frames and programmes in Orlestone
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Orlestone is about 50 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
On a healthcare site such as William Harvey Hospital, 5.3 miles to the north-east of Orlestone, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When a school such as Hamstreet Primary Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New units and refits on sites such as Meadow View Business Park (to the south-east of Orlestone) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. Around Orlestone, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Orlestone. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing
