About our construction mastic in Hawkenbury
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hawkenbury, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around places like Hawkenbury, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. We can return to clear snags before handover, priced as part of the package or separately.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

Questions we are asked in Hawkenbury
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Tunbridge Wells Nuffield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Hawkenbury too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photographs, and a fixed quote follows, with the work timed to your handover date.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you work to our specification?
We follow the specified sealant. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Hawkenbury
- Cladding and panel joints

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a site in Hawkenbury, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Common problems we fix in Hawkenbury
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly so we set the depth properly before sealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
Projects at schools like Claremont Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Construction mastic in Hawkenbury: the local picture
Hawkenbury sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Hawkenbury. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors on a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, 2.5 miles north-west of Hawkenbury, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Tunbridge Wells Nuffield Hospital, 0.6 miles north of Hawkenbury, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Hawkenbury is about 1 mile south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Commercial clients in Hawkenbury can call on us for mastic packages. Hawkenbury is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 27 miles away.
