Why act early in Southborough
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

How we handle facade sealing in Southborough
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are patch repairs that keep failing and air leaks through failed facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Southborough, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

Questions we are asked in Southborough
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Southborough off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
New build and refits around Southborough
Southborough is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 28 miles from Southborough. 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.
Hotels like The George Hotel (1.5 miles south of Southborough) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Extensions at sites like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (1.8 miles north-east of Southborough) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When a college such as West Kent College (2.1 miles north of Southborough) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.
Southborough is about 1 mile north of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Southborough sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Southborough. Our London page has more on work in that area.

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a site in Southborough, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Share access with other external trades
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Providing access systems for the work
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint.
