How we handle facade sealing in Snargate
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Snargate it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Snargate 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Cost factors for facade joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
New build and refits around Snargate
Rainfall across the South East, Snargate 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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 52 miles from central London, Snargate is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Snargate need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish. For contractors building in or near Snargate, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

What else we do in Snargate
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Snargate, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Why act early in Snargate
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. Older rural buildings around Snargate move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Common questions from Snargate clients
What site paperwork comes with a job in Snargate?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Snargate?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
