Facade sealing in Sandwich, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new sealant peeling off old mastic and facade joints cracked through the middle. Whoever orders the work in Sandwich, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Sandwich, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
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.

New build and refits around Sandwich
With the shore within about 3 miles, Sandwich counts as a coastal location. 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 2-mile radius around Sandwich takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hospital estates such as Ramsgate General Hospital (5 miles north-east of Sandwich) 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. School extensions, at buildings such as Sandwich Infant School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Signs you need facade sealing in Sandwich
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Fleur De Lys Hotel, under half a mile north of Sandwich, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
Why it’s worth doing now in Sandwich
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. In a smaller place such as Sandwich, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Sandwich: questions and answers
Does a coastal location like Sandwich affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Sandwich too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Sandwich are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
