- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Providing access systems for the work

How we handle facade sealing in Swanscombe
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and facade joints cracked through the middle. Most enquiries from Swanscombe start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Building work in places the size of Swanscombe is normally small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Swanscombe
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. In a smaller place such as Swanscombe, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Your questions answered
Is Swanscombe off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Greenwich?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
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.
New build and refits around Swanscombe
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Swanscombe. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Central London is about 17 miles from Swanscombe. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.

Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Galley Hill Trading Estate, 0.7 miles east of Swanscombe, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a college such as South Essex College, 2.3 miles to the north-east of Swanscombe, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
What affects the price in Swanscombe
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
