About our facade sealing in Shatterling
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you are dealing with sealant pulling away from frames or panels and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Shatterling, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Shatterling, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Facade sealing in Shatterling: the local picture
Shatterling lies roughly 59 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Shatterling included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
When a school such as Wingham Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. With historic properties like Goodnestone Park (to the south of Shatterling) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Shatterling: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Martins Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work at a site such as Wingham Industrial Estate, by Shatterling?
Yes, sites like Wingham Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Shatterling. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Shatterling in your area?
Yes. Sites across Shatterling are covered.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Shatterling
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
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. Halls, stores and units around places like Shatterling may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

- Water coming in around window frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
