Facade sealing in Way
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 will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you have staining on stone next to old sealant and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can put it right, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Way it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Way is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Way, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Questions we’re asked in Way
Does your area include sites such as The Oaks Business Park, near Way?
Yes. Our area takes in Way and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as The Oaks Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Way too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Way. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Other services in Way
New build and refits around Way
With the shore within about 3 miles, Way counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Way has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Historic houses such as Quex Park (to the north of Way) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Hospital estates such as Ramsgate General Hospital (3.5 miles east of Way) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Way is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Way, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. Our London page has more on work in that area.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout CT12. If your site is on Wayborough Hill and Way Hill or close by, send details and we’ll quote for facade joints. Just outside Way, we also work in Mount Pleasant (1 mile north-west), Sevenscore (1 mile south-east), Minster (1 mile west), Acol (1 mile north-west) and Cliffs End (2 miles south-east). Further afield, our area takes in Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (4 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (3 miles east), Broadstairs (5 miles east) and Whitstable (13 miles west).
Local landmarks in Way
We work on buildings around Sandwich and Pegwell Bay and The Bell Inn. The nearest railway station is Minster station, about 0.9 miles south-west. A little further out are Westwood Cross (3.1 miles north-east) and Ramsgate General Hospital (3.5 miles east). The countryside around Way includes Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
Common problems we fix in Way
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
New units and refits on sites such as The Oaks Business Park (to the north-west of Way) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Providing access systems for the work
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
