How we handle facade sealing in Swattenden
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. Most enquiries involve facade joints cracked through the middle and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Swattenden first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Swattenden, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What we’re called out for in Swattenden
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Units on estates such as Hartley Dyke Business Centre, 0.7 miles to the west of Swattenden, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Before you book anyone
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

What affects the price in Swattenden
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:

- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants

Questions about Swattenden
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Hawkhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Swattenden too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
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 replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

Contractors’ notes for Swattenden
Swattenden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. Swattenden lies roughly 39 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For contractors at a school such as Cranbrook School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Hawkhurst Community Hospital (2.9 miles south-west of Swattenden), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For work around Swattenden, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
