What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
About our facade sealing in Sutton at Hone
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Sutton at Hone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Sutton at Hone, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Sutton at Hone as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Quoting for work in Sutton at Hone
To price the job, we consider:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Rural sites near Sutton at Hone may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints

Signs you need facade sealing in Sutton at Hone
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Hospital estates such as Darent Valley Hospital, 2 miles to the north-east of Sutton at Hone, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Comparing quotes
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
Facade sealing around Sutton at Hone: what changes locally

Sutton at Hone sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.

Units on estates such as Mills Trading Estate, 0.6 miles south-east of Sutton at Hone, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

FAQs: Sutton at Hone
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Greenwich?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Sutton at Hone outside your area?
No. Places such as Sutton at Hone are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
