Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage.

To get a programme moving in Hunters Forstal, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site addresses. Most enquiries involve weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and washrooms and tea points. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Hunters Forstal is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In an occupied building in Hunters Forstal, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Hunters Forstal tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, and mould follows damp. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hunters Forstal are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
What affects the price in Hunters Forstal
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Common questions from Hunters Forstal clients
Do hotels near Hunters Forstal have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will you take on work at estates like Eddington Business Park, close to Hunters Forstal?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hunters Forstal, Eddington Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
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.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.

What Hunters Forstal’s businesses ask us to seal
With the shore within about 2 miles, Hunters Forstal counts as a coastal location. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Hunters Forstal sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
Parks like Eddington Business Park (0.9 miles north-west of Hunters Forstal) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. For premises near Herne Bay station (1.1 miles north-west of Hunters Forstal), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. A business with units at Eddington Business Park and Chislet Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. Older rural buildings around Hunters Forstal move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
