Advice
Facade sealing in Parkgate, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. 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. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Parkgate first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like Parkgate can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Facades, frames and programmes in Parkgate
Parkgate is about 43 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
With historic properties like Smallhythe Place (3.7 miles south-east of Parkgate) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a school such as Homewood School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Units on estates such as Business Park (less than half a mile south of Parkgate) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Parkgate is about 10 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. We send applicators to Parkgate for facade joints. Parkgate is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 38 miles from Parkgate.

- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Providing access systems for the work

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Why deal with it now?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. For buildings around smaller places like Parkgate, 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.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Questions about Parkgate
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Benenden Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Business Park, close to Parkgate?
Yes. Our area takes in Parkgate and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Business Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
