Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Strood
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old perimeter mastic that has dried out and failed sealant on precast panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Strood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Strood 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 a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, 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. Rural sites near Strood may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters

Building and refurbishing in Strood
Central London is about 44 miles from Strood. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Business Park (1.4 miles north of Strood), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. With historic properties like Smallhythe Place (2.6 miles south-east of Strood) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For a contractor at a hotel such as Bull Hotel, which lies south-west of Strood, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Strood is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Strood, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Strood is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for facade joints. We also cover Brighton, some 37 miles away.

Nearby places we also cover include Rolvenden (1 mile south-west), Rolvenden Layne (1 mile south), West Cross (1 mile west), Parkgate (2 miles north) and Broad Tenterden (2 miles east) for facade joints. Nearby towns on our patch include Maidstone (15 miles north), Ashford (11 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (14 miles north-west), Bearsted (15 miles north), Park Wood (13 miles north) and Kennington (13 miles north-east).

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Turners Field and Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre, among other places. Nearby you’ll also find The C.M Booth Collection (1 mile south-west) and Benenden Hospital (2.4 miles north-west).
What happens if it’s left?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Older rural buildings around Strood move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
