Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints

- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
About our facade sealing in Staple
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. The enquiries we see most involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Staple, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Staple 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Staple
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Older rural buildings around Staple move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Mastic packages on Staple sites
Staple is about 60 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Staple 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 the external programme keeps a little slack.
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, 1.9 miles south-west of Staple, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Hotels like The Lion Hotel (to the north-east of Staple) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Staple is about 7 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Commercial clients in Staple can call on us for facade joints. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Staple. For work in that direction, see our London page (60 miles or so).

Other services in Staple
What we’re called out for in Staple
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
New units and refits on sites such as Wingham Industrial Estate (to the west of Staple) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Staple can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Wingham Industrial Estate, near Staple?
Yes, sites like Wingham Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Staple. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Staple off your patch?
Not at all. Staple is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
