Facade sealing in Penshurst, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. 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 with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Penshurst 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.
For a site near Penshurst, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

What else we do in Penshurst
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. Converted and older buildings near places like Penshurst tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

New build and refits around Penshurst
Penshurst lies roughly 26 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Penshurst included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors on a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, which lies south-east of Penshurst, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Speldhurst Business Park, 2.5 miles to the south-east of Penshurst, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Common questions from Penshurst clients
Will you take on work at estates like Speldhurst Business Park, close to Penshurst?
Yes, sites like Speldhurst Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Penshurst. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Penshurst too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Penshurst, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Do you need facade sealing in Penshurst?
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Extensions at sites like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (to the east of Penshurst) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
