Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Facade sealing in Walderslade
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Most enquiries involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and failed sealant on precast panel joints, across stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames. Most enquiries from Walderslade start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Building work in places the size of Walderslade is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
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.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Common questions from Walderslade clients
Is Walderslade too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Walderslade are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University for the Creative Arts - Rochester for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
