Surface by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price.
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Lower Hardres: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lower Hardres, such as Wincheap Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Wincheap Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Lower Hardres. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Lower Hardres outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
What affects the price in Lower Hardres
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Commercial sealant contractors around Lower Hardres: how the place shapes the job
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Lower Hardres. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints; brand colours often come into it. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Wincheap Industrial Estate (2.7 miles north of Lower Hardres) need neat joints where customers see them. For a shop at a centre such as Whitefriars Shopping Centre, 2.9 miles north of Lower Hardres, tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures. For premises near Canterbury East station (2.7 miles north of Lower Hardres), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Lower Hardres is about 3 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Lower Hardres for work on sealant joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Lower Hardres. London is covered too, around 54 miles from Lower Hardres.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. Resealing typically costs far less than renewal, and we’ll say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. Older rural buildings around Lower Hardres 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 often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a building around Lower Hardres, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
