Facade sealing in Southernden, done properly
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, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. The enquiries we see most involve staining on stone next to old sealant and patch repairs that keep failing, across window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Southernden tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites around smaller places like Southernden can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Southernden: questions and answers
Is Southernden off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, by Southernden?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Southernden, Barradale Farm Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Older rural buildings around Southernden move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Southernden can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Southernden need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

New build and refits around Southernden
Central London is about 39 miles from Southernden. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Southernden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
With historic properties like Leeds Castle, 4.8 miles to the north of Southernden, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the west of Southernden, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

What else we do in Southernden
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
