Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Silver Hill are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
How we handle facade sealing in Silver Hill
Managing agents and owners in Silver Hill ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. For commercial sealant work in Silver Hill, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Silver Hill is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

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:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
Why it’s worth doing now in Silver Hill
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Converted and older buildings near places like Silver Hill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Silver Hill
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hawkhurst Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Silver Hill off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you need facade sealing in Silver Hill?
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Water coming in around window frames
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Bodiam Business Park, 2.2 miles east of Silver Hill, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Facades, frames and programmes in Silver Hill
At about 42 miles from central London, Silver Hill is within reach of the capital. 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. Silver Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
On a healthcare site such as Hawkhurst Community Hospital, which lies north of Silver Hill, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Older buildings in the area around Silver Hill, such as Bateman's, 4.4 miles to the west of Silver Hill, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
