Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Sevenoaks Weald
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. 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:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Older buildings in the area around Sevenoaks Weald, such as Knole House, which lies north of Sevenoaks Weald, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Proof of insurance
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
About our facade sealing in Sevenoaks Weald
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames after rain and air leaks through failed facade joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Sevenoaks Weald is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Sevenoaks Weald is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What happens if it’s left?
Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. Halls, stores and units around places like Sevenoaks Weald may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Kent - Tonbridge?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Hollanden Park Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Sevenoaks Weald in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Sevenoaks Weald.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
