How we handle facade sealing in Staplehurst
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and what we are called in for most is perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and leaks at window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Staplehurst start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a smaller place such as Staplehurst, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Staplehurst need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Sites and facades in and around Staplehurst
Staplehurst sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 36 miles from central London, Staplehurst is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
New units and refits on sites such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, 2.8 miles east of Staplehurst, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. School extensions, at buildings such as Staplehurst School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Staplehurst is about 7 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Any commercial site in Staplehurst is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. For work in that direction, see our London page.

- The asbestos register, for older buildings

What we are called out for in Staplehurst
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The King's Head Hotel, 0.5 miles to the south of Staplehurst, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Staplehurst
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Staplehurst: questions and answers
Is Staplehurst off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Staplehurst?
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.
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.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
