How we handle facade sealing in Smarden
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you’re dealing with sealant pulling away from frames or panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Smarden? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Smarden bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Mastic packages on Smarden sites
The South East is one of the drier 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. At about 42 miles from central London, Smarden is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Hospital estates such as Benenden Hospital, 5.3 miles to the south-west of Smarden, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. When a school such as Smarden Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Smarden is about 8 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN27, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Smarden is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 42 miles from Smarden.

What else we do in Smarden
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Benenden Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like Smarden outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Around Smarden, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Commercial clients in Smarden
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Smarden can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
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.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Share access with other external trades
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
