Facade sealing in Sharnal Street
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 window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Sharnal Street tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Sharnal Street bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Sharnal Street need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Common questions from Sharnal Street clients
Does a coastal location like Sharnal Street 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.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Greenwich - Medway?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Facades, frames and programmes in Sharnal Street
Sharnal Street sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Central London is about 29 miles from Sharnal Street. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
School extensions, at buildings such as High Halstow Primary Academy, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Older buildings in the area around Sharnal Street, such as Restoration House (4.9 miles south-west of Sharnal Street), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Common problems we fix in Sharnal Street
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
For contractors on a campus like University of Greenwich - Medway, 3.4 miles south-west of Sharnal Street, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
