Facade sealing in Bockhanger, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts around frames and panels. Most enquiries from Bockhanger 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.
In a smaller place such as Bockhanger, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
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.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
What we are called out for in Bockhanger
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
When units on a site such as Eurogate Business Park, 0.6 miles west of Bockhanger, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. What matters most for a job in Bockhanger is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.

What we need from you

Advice
FAQs: Bockhanger
Does your area include sites such as Eurogate Business Park, near Bockhanger?
Yes. We cover Bockhanger and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Eurogate Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as The One Ashford Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you work in Bockhanger?
Yes. Bockhanger falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Facades, frames and programmes in Bockhanger
Bockhanger sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. 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.
When a college such as Ashford College, 1.3 miles to the south of Bockhanger, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff. On a healthcare site such as The One Ashford Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Bockhanger, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
