From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Tudeley need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Tudeley
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and leaks at window and door perimeters, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Tudeley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site near Tudeley, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Why act early in Tudeley
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Converted and older buildings near places like Tudeley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Common problems we fix in Tudeley
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Building work at universities like University of Kent - Tonbridge (to the west of Tudeley) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
