Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Walter's Green
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are new sealant peeling off old mastic and water coming in around window frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Walter's Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Walter's Green, 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.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

What we’re called out for in Walter's Green
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Kent and Sussex Hospital (4.3 miles east of Walter's Green), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Smaller jobs around Walter's Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Walter's Green off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
New build and refits around Walter's Green
Walter's Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Walter's Green is about 27 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors at a school such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Historic houses such as Penshurst Place (to the north-east of Walter's Green) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Walter's Green is about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. We send applicators to Walter's Green for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Why deal with it now?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Halls, stores and units around places like Walter's Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
