Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Facade sealing in Yopps Green, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Questions we are asked in Yopps Green
Is Yopps Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Cygnet Hospital Godden Green?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Facades, frames and programmes in Yopps Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 23 miles from central London, Yopps Green is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Extensions at sites like Cygnet Hospital Godden Green (to the west of Yopps Green) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. School extensions, at buildings such as Plaxtol Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Units on estates such as Bourne Enterprise Centre, 2 miles to the north of Yopps Green, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Yopps Green is about 5 miles north of Tonbridge, in Kent. Anywhere in TN15, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. London is covered too, some 23 miles away.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
