Facade sealing in Ham, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is damp patches beside frames after rain and patch repairs that keep failing. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site near Ham, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
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.

FAQs: Ham
Do you cover business parks and estates near Ham, such as Birnham Farm Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Birnham Farm Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Ham. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Ham too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Ham are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
New build and refits around Ham
Ham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Ham lies roughly 64 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.
Older buildings in the area around Ham, such as Walmer Castle, 4.4 miles to the south-east of Ham, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Birnham Farm Business Centre, 1.9 miles north-west of Ham, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Ham is about 3 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Any commercial site in Ham is covered. Ham is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. We also cover London, some 64 miles away.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ham
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Converted and older buildings near places like Ham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Do you need facade sealing in Ham?
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Water coming in around window frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
When a school such as Worth Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
