Facade sealing for Westerham sites

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

Owners, agents and contractors

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 Westerham can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

About our facade sealing in Westerham

Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. The enquiries we see most involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Westerham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.

On a small site around Westerham, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.

Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Westerham need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.

  1. First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
  2. The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
  3. Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
  4. Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
  5. The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
  6. The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

What we need from you

  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Getting a fixed quote

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Advice

Westerham: questions and answers

Is a smaller place like Westerham outside your area?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Tandridge Priory?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.

Do you seal facades in winter?

Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.

Will you come and look before quoting?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.

How many days will you need on site?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

What affects the price in Westerham

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • Phasing around occupants
  • Removal of failed or old sealant

The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Before you send an enquiry

We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:

  • Your programme or deadline
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.

When something else is needed

Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:

  • Damp caused by condensation inside the building
  • Replacing glass or failed glazing units
  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Shopfront frames
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Stone and brick facade joints

What we are called out for in Westerham

When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Damp patches beside frames after rain
  • Previous reseals run over old sealant
  • Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
  • Facade joints cracked through the middle

For a contractor working at a hospital such as Tandridge Priory (2.2 miles south-west of Westerham), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Before you book anyone

  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Surface by surface

Precast concrete panels

Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints, not the framing or glazing itself.

Facades, frames and programmes in Westerham

A 2-mile radius around Westerham takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Rainfall across the South East, Westerham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.

With historic properties like Quebec House (to the south-east of Westerham) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For a contractor at a hotel such as The George And Dragon Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Westerham, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
