When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

About our construction mastic in How Green
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. If you’re dealing with frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and mastic snags holding up handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from How Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like How Green can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent following the programme.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it.
Common problems we fix in How Green
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Different trades sealing to different standards
For contractors at a school such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

How Green: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Can the mastic package for our job in How Green follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Weather matters for external sealing: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.

Construction mastic around How Green: how the place shapes the job
How Green is about 23 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, How Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Hever Hotel, which lies east of How Green, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Hospital estates such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital (to the west of How Green) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
How Green is about 7 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Any commercial site in How Green is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including How Green. There’s a separate page for London, about 23 miles away.
We cover the TN8 postcode districts for mastic packages. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Hever Road and How Green Lane. We also cover Hever (1 mile south), Newtown (2 miles south), Markbeech (2 miles south), Chiddingstone Causeway (3 miles east) and Chiddingstone Hoath (3 miles south-east). Further afield, our area takes in Sevenoaks (7 miles north-east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (8 miles south-east), Tonbridge (7 miles east), Swanley (14 miles north), Kings Hill (14 miles east) and Paddock Wood (12 miles east).
Near you in How Green
Recent enquiries here include premises near The Wheatsheaf Public House and Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens and the streets around them. How Green’s nearest station is Hever station, roughly 1.3 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Tandridge Priory (5.4 miles north-west) and Hever Castle (0.7 miles south).
Why act early in How Green
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Converted and older buildings near places like How Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
