How we handle facade sealing in Stubb's Cross
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old perimeter mastic that has dried out and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Most enquiries from Stubb's Cross 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 the countryside around places like Stubb's Cross, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Questions we are asked in Stubb's Cross
Could you schedule work at a campus like Ashford College for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Stubb's Cross off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Rural sites near Stubb's Cross 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.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What else we do in Stubb's Cross
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. Older rural buildings around Stubb's Cross 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.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Facade sealing around Stubb's Cross: what changes locally
At about 48 miles from central London, Stubb's Cross is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Stubb's Cross is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
With historic properties like Godinton House, 3.3 miles north of Stubb's Cross, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. New units and refits on sites such as Ellingham Industrial Estate (1.4 miles north-east of Stubb's Cross) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. School extensions, at buildings such as Kingsnorth Church of England Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
