Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Seasalter
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are old perimeter mastic that has dried out and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Seasalter is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Seasalter, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to call us in Seasalter
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Prospect Retail Park (0.8 miles east of Seasalter), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Smaller jobs around Seasalter can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Facades, frames and programmes in Seasalter
With the shore within about 1 mile, Seasalter counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The area within 2 miles of Seasalter holds a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For contractors at a school such as Joy Lane Primary Foundation School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, 2.5 miles to the north-east of Seasalter, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Can you work at a site such as Prospect Retail Park, by Seasalter?
Yes, sites like Prospect Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Seasalter. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Cost factors for facade joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.
