Building owners, agents and FMs in Hackington
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Hackington can form part of a wider programme.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facade sealing in Hackington, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Hackington ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can help, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Whoever orders the work in Hackington, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Hackington, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Sites and facades in and around Hackington
Rainfall across the South East, Hackington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. A 2-mile radius around Hackington takes in plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors on a campus like University of Kent, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Hackington, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Maybrook Retail Park, 1.5 miles to the south-east of Hackington, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Further education sites such as Canterbury College (to the south of Hackington) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Quoting for work in Hackington
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Rural sites near Hackington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Make sure the joints can be reached

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Specialist high-level access methods
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Common questions from Hackington clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Saint Martin's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like Maybrook Retail Park, close to Hackington?
Yes, sites like Maybrook Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hackington. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you cover Hackington?
Yes. We take on work across Hackington, with one number for every area we cover.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
