Pedlinge: questions and answers
Does a coastal location like Pedlinge affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
About our facade sealing in Pedlinge
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and new sealant peeling off old mastic. Whoever orders the work in Pedlinge, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Pedlinge bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What else we do in Pedlinge
Commercial clients in Pedlinge
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building around Pedlinge, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What we are called out for in Pedlinge
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Look out for the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
For contractors at a school such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Facade sealing around Pedlinge: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Pedlinge. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Pedlinge. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Older buildings in the area around Pedlinge, such as Westenhanger Castle, which lies north-west of Pedlinge, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New wings at hospitals like Royal Victoria Hospital (to the east of Pedlinge) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex.
