Facade sealing in Thanington, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Site teams most often ask us about discoloured or dirty facade joints and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. For commercial sealant work in Thanington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Thanington, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Thanington can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What affects the price in Thanington
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Common problems we fix in Thanington
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Wincheap Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles to the north-east of Thanington, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS

FAQs: Thanington
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Kent and Canterbury Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as University of the Creative Arts fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Contractors’ notes for Thanington
Thanington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. A 2-mile radius around Thanington takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
When a college such as Canterbury College, 1.6 miles to the east of Thanington, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. Work at a hotel such as Canterbury Hotel, 0.7 miles north-east of Thanington, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Work in places the size of Thanington is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
