Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to call us in Skinner's Hill
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:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Units on estates such as Langbridge Business Centre (to the north-west of Skinner's Hill) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Proof of insurance
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Skinner's Hill
Managing agents and owners in Skinner's Hill ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows.

We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and draughts around frames and panels.

Questions about Skinner's Hill
Is Skinner's Hill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Langbridge Business Centre, near Skinner's Hill, within your area?
Yes, sites like Langbridge Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Skinner's Hill. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Facade sealing in Skinner's Hill: the local picture
With the shore within about 2 miles, Skinner's Hill counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Skinner's Hill included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Skinner's Hill, such as Haseley Manor, which lies west of Skinner's Hill, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. When a school such as Newchurch Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Other services in Skinner's Hill
Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Skinner's Hill, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Why appoint us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- CHAS accredited

- Specification-led, product-correct work
See our cost guide and our accreditations.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Skinner's Hill are normally planned as a single visit, so photos 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.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Related advice
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Quoting for work in Skinner's Hill
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Access details, including height
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
