Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Why act early in West Hougham
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. Halls, stores and units around places like West Hougham may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Cost factors for mastic packages
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Use the product the specification names
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

Building and refurbishing in West Hougham
West Hougham is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. At about 63 miles from central London, West Hougham is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.

With historic properties like Acrise Place (to the west of West Hougham) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors at a school such as Capel-le-Ferne Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

West Hougham: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University Centre Folkestone?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is West Hougham off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
