Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Facade sealing in Round Street
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. If you have sealant pulling away from frames or panels and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Round Street? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Round Street 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Round Street may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. For buildings around smaller places like Round Street, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Mastic packages on Round Street sites
At about 22 miles from central London, Round Street is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Round Street, such as Cobham College (0.9 miles east of Round Street), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Hospital estates such as Gravesham Community Hospital (to the north of Round Street) 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. When a school such as Cobham Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Round Street is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Looking for facade sealing in Round Street? We can help. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Round Street among them. We also cover London, around 22 miles from Round Street.
We take on facade joints across the DA13 postcode area, whatever the building.

What’s near Round Street
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Railway Inn, Jeskyns and Meopham School. For rail, the closest station is Sole Street station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Gravesham Museum (3.5 miles north) and Gravesham Community Hospital (3.6 miles north). For a walk, there’s Gad's Hill and Ranscombe Farm.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
Questions we are asked in Round Street
Is Round Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Round Street is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Gravesham Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
