Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Sandway
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and patch repairs that keep failing. Searching for sealant specialists in Sandway? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like Sandway, 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 normally what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Sandway clients
Is Sandway too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Canterbury Christ Church University?
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.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sandway
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure. Halls, stores and units around places like Sandway may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- CHAS accredited
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- One number for every site we cover
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Building and refurbishing in Sandway
Sandway is about 39 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Sandway included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors on a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University, 2.8 miles to the north of Sandway, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. When a school such as Platts Heath Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Older buildings in the area around Sandway, such as Leeds Castle, 3.3 miles to the north-west of Sandway, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Sandway is about 8 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Sandway sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Sandway. Our London page has more on work in that area.
We take on facade joints across the ME17 postcode area, whatever the building. Buildings on Headcorn Road, Sandway Road and Old Ham Lane are within our area. We also cover Platt's Heath (1 mile south-west), Liverton Street (1 mile south-west), Boughton Malherbe (1 mile south), Marley (1 mile north-west) and Harrietsham (1 mile north-west) for facade joints. Bigger towns within reach include Maidstone (8 miles west), Ashford (9 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (8 miles north), Faversham (10 miles north-east), Minster (14 miles north) and Kings Hill (13 miles west).
Local landmarks in Sandway
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Kiln Wood, The Lenham School and Wishful Thinker pub, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Lenham station, about 0.5 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include The Dog Collar Museum (3.2 miles north-west) and Coldbridge Castle (2.1 miles south).
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
