Facade sealing in Well Hill
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant pulling away from frames or panels and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Well Hill, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Well Hill bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. Halls, stores and units around places like Well Hill may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Well Hill are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Related advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
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.
Questions we’re asked in Well Hill
Is Well Hill off your patch?
No. Places such as Well Hill are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Chelsfield Park Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will tell you which.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Mastic packages on Well Hill sites
Well Hill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 14 miles from central London, Well Hill is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
School extensions, at buildings such as Chelsfield Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle, 2 miles to the east of Well Hill, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Extensions at sites like Chelsfield Park Hospital (to the west of Well Hill) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Well Hill is about 3 miles south-east of Orpington, in Kent. Well Hill sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. We also cover London, some 14 miles away.
