Facade sealing in Three Chimneys
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. If you are dealing with failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Three Chimneys, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Three Chimneys can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Three Chimneys: questions and answers
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Three Chimneys?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Would you work within a site like Benenden Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
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 follow the specified product.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
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 quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
New build and refits around Three Chimneys
Three Chimneys is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Three Chimneys is about 40 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
On a healthcare site such as Benenden Hospital, 2.3 miles to the south of Three Chimneys, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Sites around Three Chimneys get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
