Facade sealing for Rodmersham sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Facade sealing in Rodmersham

We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Rodmersham, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Around smaller places like Rodmersham, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

Every job is signed 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.

What sealant work can’t fix

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Installing or repairing glazing systems
  • Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
  • Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing

If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What we seal

  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Shopfront frames
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Cladding panel joints

How the job changes by surface

Window and door perimeters

Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.

Render and coated surfaces

Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface.

Should maintenance staff do it?

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Sites and facades in and around Rodmersham

Rodmersham lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Rodmersham. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.

For contractors at a school such as Rodmersham School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For contractors at a college like KITE College, 1.7 miles north of Rodmersham, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Rodmersham is about 2 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Rodmersham for work on facade joints. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, Rodmersham among them. For work in that direction, see our London page (39 miles or so).

We take on facade joints across the ME9 postcode area, whatever the building. Nearby places we also cover include Bapchild (1 mile south), Rodmersham Green (1 mile west), Highsted (1 mile west), Radfield (1 mile north-east) and Newbury (1 mile south).

Do you need facade sealing in Rodmersham?

A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Air leaks through failed facade joints
  • Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
  • Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
  • Patch repairs that keep failing

Work at a hotel such as Hempstead House Hotel (to the north-east of Rodmersham) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

What your quote should include

  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • The terms of the workmanship guarantee
  • How they’ll work around occupants
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

How to choose a sealant contractor

Your questions answered

Is hospital work, at somewhere like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, something you do?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

Could you schedule work at a campus like KITE College for the vacation?

Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Can you work in cold or wet weather?

Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.

Can you find out why a window is leaking?

Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.

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.

Do you replace failed glazing units?

No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.

Can you fit around our working hours?

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.

How a job runs

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Rodmersham are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

  1. We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
  4. Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
  5. Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
