Facade sealing for businesses in Sturry
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
How we handle facade sealing in Sturry
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals run over old sealant and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Sturry from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Sturry, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

More services for Sturry
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Commercial clients in Sturry
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Sturry can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a job in Sturry, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Sturry, such as Buddy's Retail Park?
Yes, sites like Buddy's Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Sturry. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Saint Martin's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Facade sealing around Sturry: what changes locally
At about 54 miles from central London, Sturry is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Projects at colleges like Canterbury College (to the south-west of Sturry) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. On a healthcare site such as Saint Martin's Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south of Sturry, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. On a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 2.5 miles to the south-west of Sturry, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Sturry is about 3 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Sturry can call on us for facade joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. We also cover London, around 54 miles from Sturry.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
