Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Royal Tunbridge Wells
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. The enquiries we see most involve draughts around frames and panels and previous reseals run over old sealant, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Royal Tunbridge Wells it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Many towns of Royal Tunbridge Wells’s size have older buildings being converted or extended, so new windows and cladding meet old masonry. Those junctions need a sealant and primer that suit both surfaces.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. In a town like Royal Tunbridge Wells, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Renewing it keeps the building looking cared for.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Common questions from Royal Tunbridge Wells clients
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Does your area include sites such as Royal Victoria Shopping Centre, near Royal Tunbridge Wells?
Yes, sites like Royal Victoria Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Royal Tunbridge Wells. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
