How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and we clear our waste as we work. Work in places the size of Bockhanger is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.

- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

About our construction mastic in Bockhanger
The specification and the programme set the job. Where the specification names a product, we use it, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. We work on brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bockhanger from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a smaller place such as Bockhanger, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
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.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it rarely lasts. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. We cut out and redo the joint properly. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Sites and facades in and around Bockhanger
Bockhanger is about 48 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Bockhanger has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Projects at colleges like Ashford College, 1.3 miles to the south of Bockhanger, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. For a contractor working at a hospital such as The One Ashford Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Bockhanger, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Eurogate Business Park (0.6 miles west of Bockhanger) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions answered
Is Bockhanger too far out for you?
No. Places such as Bockhanger are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The One Ashford Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
