Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Selsted
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Selsted, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Selsted, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Facade sealing around Selsted: what changes locally
Selsted sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 60 miles from central London, Selsted is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
School extensions, at buildings such as Selsted Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Hospital estates such as Royal Victoria Hospital, 5 miles to the south of Selsted, 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. When units on a site such as Barham Business Park (2.2 miles north-west of Selsted) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Selsted is about 5 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. Selsted sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 60 miles from Selsted.

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Selsted
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Share access with other external trades
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Rural sites near Selsted may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Older rural buildings around Selsted move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
