How we handle facade sealing in Platt
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Platt. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you are dealing with weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can put it right, on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Platt? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like Platt, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

New build and refits around Platt
Platt lies roughly 23 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Platt sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hospital estates such as Sevenoaks Hospital, 5.7 miles to the west of Platt, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Projects at schools like Platt Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Platt is about 6 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Across the TN15 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Platt may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Questions we are asked in Platt
Is a smaller place like Platt outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Bourne Enterprise Centre, by Platt?
Yes, sites like Bourne Enterprise Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Platt. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
What we’re called out for in Platt
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Hotels like The Bull Hotel (to the north-west of Platt) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
What your quote should include
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The named product and why it was chosen

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Around Platt, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
