Facade sealing across Clap Hill
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Clap Hill are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Facade sealing in Clap Hill, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have damp patches beside frames after rain and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Clap Hill? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site near Clap Hill, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Clap Hill can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
Facades, frames and programmes in Clap Hill
Clap Hill lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Clap Hill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Units on estates such as Evegate Business Park, 1.4 miles north-east of Clap Hill, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Extensions at sites like William Harvey Hospital, 3.3 miles to the north of Clap Hill, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Clap Hill is about 4 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Any commercial site in Clap Hill is covered. Clap Hill is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area, about 50 miles away.

Questions about Clap Hill
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work at a site such as Evegate Business Park, by Clap Hill?
Yes. We cover Clap Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Evegate Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Common problems we fix in Clap Hill
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.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
School extensions, at buildings such as Aldington Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Comparing quotes
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their public liability cover
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
