Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Sissinghurst
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sissinghurst first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Sissinghurst, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
When to call us in Sissinghurst
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Wilsley Hotel, 0.9 miles south-west of Sissinghurst, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Hartley Dyke Business Centre, by Sissinghurst?
Yes, sites like Hartley Dyke Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Sissinghurst. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Benenden Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If others near Sissinghurst 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.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Sites and facades in and around Sissinghurst
At about 39 miles from central London, Sissinghurst is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Projects at schools like Cranbrook School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Hartley Dyke Business Centre, 2.6 miles to the south-west of Sissinghurst, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Sissinghurst is about 11 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Commercial clients in Sissinghurst can call on us for facade joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 36 miles from Sissinghurst.
We take on facade joints across the TN17 postcode area, whatever the building. For a building on The Street, Milkhouse Cottages and Cobnut Close or nearby, we can quote for facade joints. We also cover Wilsley Pound (1 mile west), Cranbrook Common (1 mile north), Wilsley Green (1 mile south-west), Knox Bridge (2 miles north) and Colliers Green (2 miles west). Bigger towns within reach include Maidstone (11 miles north), Ashford (14 miles east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (13 miles west), Tonbridge (14 miles north-west), Kings Hill (13 miles north-west) and Foley Park (12 miles north).
Around Sissinghurst
Around Sissinghurst, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Crane Valley and The Bull Public House, among other places. The closest station to Sissinghurst is Staplehurst station, about 4.3 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Sissinghurst Castle (1.1 miles east) and Benenden Hospital (3.1 miles south-east).
Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. For buildings around smaller places like Sissinghurst, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, 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. Call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints.
