Building and refurbishing in Pembury
Pembury sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. A 2-mile radius around Pembury takes in several hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Extensions at sites like Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury (to the west of Pembury) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. University estates such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons (3.7 miles west of Pembury) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Facade sealing in Pembury
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, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are discoloured or dirty facade joints and damp patches beside frames after rain. Most enquiries from Pembury start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Building work in places the size of Pembury is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we’re called out for in Pembury
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Kingstanding Business Park (to the north-west of Pembury) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Share access with other external trades
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints finished to throw water off the joint.

FAQs: Pembury
Can you work at a site such as Kingstanding Business Park, by Pembury?
Yes. Our area takes in Pembury and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kingstanding Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, depending on the substrate and the specification.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
