Facade sealing in West Malling
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is sealant pulling away from frames or panels and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in West Malling, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places like West Malling, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a site in West Malling, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Related advice
Do you need facade sealing in West Malling?
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Look out for the following:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
When a school such as More Park Catholic Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

FAQs: West Malling
Is a hospital such as Maidstone Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Kings Hill Business Park, near West Malling?
Yes. We cover West Malling and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Kings Hill Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
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. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
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.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Contractors’ notes for West Malling
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from West Malling. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
New units and refits on sites such as Kings Hill Business Park, 1.3 miles to the south of West Malling, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For a contractor at a hotel such as Bear Hotel, less than half a mile east of West Malling, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in West Malling can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
