How we handle facade sealing in Staplestreet
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. 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. If you’re dealing with patch repairs that keep failing and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can help, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Staplestreet, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Staplestreet, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Common questions from Staplestreet clients
Is Waterham Business Park, near Staplestreet, within your area?
Yes. We cover Staplestreet and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Waterham Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Staplestreet outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Mastic packages on Staplestreet sites
Central London is about 47 miles from Staplestreet. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Staplestreet 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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Building work at universities like University of Kent, 4.8 miles east of Staplestreet, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Work at a hotel such as Cave Hotel and Golf Resort, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Staplestreet, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Staplestreet is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Staplestreet use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Staplestreet among them. For work in that direction, see our London page.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout ME13, whatever the building. Buildings on Staple Street, Forge Farm Row and Staplestreet Road are within our area for facade joints. If your building is just outside Staplestreet, we cover Slutshole (1 mile north-east), Hernhill (1 mile north-east), Goodnestone (1 mile north-west), Culmers (1 mile north) and Dargate (1 mile north-east). A short drive away, we cover Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (6 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles west), Whitstable (5 miles north-east), Faversham (3 miles west) and Herne Bay (9 miles north-east).
Around Staplestreet
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Mount Ephraim Gardens and White Horse Inn. The nearest railway station is Selling station, roughly 1.9 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Tower keep castle at Chilham (4.2 miles south) and Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (5.7 miles east). For a walk, there’s Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Older rural buildings around Staplestreet move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Commercial clients in Staplestreet
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Staplestreet
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
New wings at hospitals like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (5.7 miles east of Staplestreet) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- 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.
What we need from you
