Do you need coloured sealant in Hawkinge?
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a substitute product was used. It seals fine but catches the eye, so someone asks for it to be changed.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
If you look after units at a retail site such as West Park Farm North Retail Park, which lies south of Hawkinge, shopfront perimeters and shop-fit joints are where a matched colour shows.

About our coloured sealant in Hawkinge
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. If you are dealing with poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and dirty, discoloured joints in public areas, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Hawkinge? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Hawkinge, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Coloured sealant around Hawkinge: what changes locally
Hawkinge sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Hawkinge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
If you have premises on more than one site, say at West Park Farm North Retail Park and Concept Court Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Offices and shops close to stations such as Folkestone West station, 2 miles south of Hawkinge, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Hawkinge is about 2 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. We send applicators to Hawkinge for colour-matched joints. Hawkinge is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for colour-matched joints. We also cover Brighton, around 59 miles from Hawkinge.
If you need coloured sealant in CT18, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Questions we’re asked in Hawkinge
Is a smaller place like Hawkinge outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can being near the sea in Hawkinge affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you match any colour exactly?
No. We can’t promise an exact custom match. Sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product so you can choose.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
It can, to a degree. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure, and we can’t promise a colour that never alters.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Hawkinge
A failed joint lets in water and dirt, whatever colour it is. Water through a split seal can stain or damage the surfaces next to it. In a smaller place such as Hawkinge, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
