Facades, frames and programmes in Windmill Hill
With the shore within about 2 miles, Windmill Hill counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Windmill Hill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
On a healthcare site such as Gravesham Community Hospital, 0.7 miles north-west of Windmill Hill, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When units on a site such as Canal Industrial Park, 0.7 miles north-east of Windmill Hill, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Building work at universities like University of Greenwich (to the west of Windmill Hill) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Owners, agents and contractors
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.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Providing access systems for the work
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions from Windmill Hill clients
Does your area include sites such as Canal Industrial Park, near Windmill Hill?
Yes. We cover Windmill Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Canal Industrial Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a coastal location like Windmill Hill affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Windmill Hill need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- 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.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
