Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Share access with other external trades
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Facade sealing in Painter's Forstal, done properly
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, across coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Painter's Forstal, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Painter's Forstal is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

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.

For a contractor at a hotel such as Judd's Folly Hotel, 1.2 miles north of Painter's Forstal, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors at a school such as Ospringe Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

When to call us in Painter's Forstal
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (to the south of Painter's Forstal) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Common questions from Painter's Forstal clients
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Painter's Forstal?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Painter's Forstal?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us.

If others near Painter's Forstal need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
