How we handle facade sealing in Yorkletts
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you are dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames alike.

Around smaller places like Yorkletts, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: 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.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Share access with other external trades
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Commercial clients in Yorkletts
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 Yorkletts can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic packages on Yorkletts sites
Yorkletts sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Yorkletts 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.
Hospital estates such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (to the north-east of Yorkletts) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For contractors at a school such as The Whitstable School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Yorkletts is about 2 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Yorkletts, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 49 miles away.

When to call us in Yorkletts
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
Units on estates such as Lamberhurst Farm Industrial Estate (0.5 miles south-west of Yorkletts) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Before you book anyone

- Proof of insurance
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
FAQs: Yorkletts
Is Yorkletts off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Kent for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been 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. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Yorkletts may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
