Common questions from Teasley Mead clients

Could you schedule work at a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons for the vacation?

Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.

Is Teasley Mead off your patch?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

Do you replace windows or glass?

No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?

No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.

Facade sealing in Teasley Mead, done properly

Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Teasley Mead tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

In the countryside around places like Teasley Mead, 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.

We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Keeping the joints sound

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:

  • Walk the elevations once or twice a year
  • Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
  • Record the product and colour used on each elevation
  • Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings

Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.

Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.

Commercial clients in Teasley Mead

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Teasley Mead. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

On site: what to expect

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Teasley Mead can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
  2. We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
  3. The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
  4. Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
  5. Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
  6. We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

Why deal with it now?

Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings around smaller places like Teasley Mead, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Why us?

  • Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
  • Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
  • Public liability insurance in place
  • Over 20 years of commercial sealing

What we can’t put right

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:

  • Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
  • Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing

If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Cladding panel joints
  • Shopfront frames
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Coping and flashing joints

Contractors’ notes for Teasley Mead

At about 27 miles from central London, Teasley Mead is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Teasley Mead included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

Historic houses such as Groombridge Place (to the south-east of Teasley Mead) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. On a healthcare site such as Kent and Sussex Hospital (5 miles east of Teasley Mead), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. University estates such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, 4.4 miles to the east of Teasley Mead, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Teasley Mead is about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. Across the TN3 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

General trades versus a specialist

Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
