About our construction mastic in Hale
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and different trades sealing to different standards. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Hale from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites around smaller places like Hale can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

FAQs: Hale
Our building in Hale is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University for the Creative Arts - Rochester for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
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.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. The scope follows your specification.
How do you work with the site programme?
We work to your programme. Tell us the sequence and we’ll plan applicators around it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height

New build and refits around Hale
Hale sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. At about 30 miles from central London, Hale is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For contractors at a school such as Kingfisher Community Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester, which lies north-west of Hale, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hale, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
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.

Signs you need construction mastic in Hale
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Gillingham Business Park (0.8 miles east of Hale) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
