Facade sealing for Paddlesworth sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. For buildings around smaller places like Paddlesworth, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Facade sealing in Paddlesworth, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and previous reseals run over old sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Paddlesworth it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Paddlesworth, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Smaller jobs around Paddlesworth can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Facades, frames and programmes in Paddlesworth
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 the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 25 miles from Paddlesworth. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
When a school such as Snodland CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. With historic properties like Starkey Castle (to the north-east of Paddlesworth) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. On a healthcare site such as Maidstone Hospital, 5 miles to the south-east of Paddlesworth, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Paddlesworth is about 4 miles north of Kings Hill, in Kent. We send applicators to Paddlesworth for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Paddlesworth is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for facade joints. There’s a separate page for London, about 25 miles away.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Paddlesworth. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
FAQs: Paddlesworth
Is a hospital such as Maidstone Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Paddlesworth too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
