Facade sealing for businesses in Saltwood
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Saltwood. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Saltwood
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you are dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Saltwood start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Saltwood, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Facades, frames and programmes in Saltwood
Saltwood sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. A 2-mile radius around Saltwood takes in several hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
On a campus such as University Centre Folkestone, which lies east of Saltwood, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Hotels like The Swan Hotel, 0.6 miles south-east of Saltwood, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. When units on a site such as Shorncliffe Industrial Estate (2.8 miles east of Saltwood) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Quoting for work in Saltwood
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:

FAQs: Saltwood
Can being near the sea in Saltwood affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Saltwood too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
