What the job involves on each surface
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.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Facade sealing in Hatford
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you’re dealing with staining on stone next to old sealant and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hatford? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For a site near Hatford, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What we are called out for in Hatford
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Extensions at sites like Longworth Hospital (to the west of Hatford) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Smaller jobs around Hatford can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- 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
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected

New build and refits around Hatford
Hatford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 62 miles from central London, Hatford is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Stanford Business Park (to the south of Hatford) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Common questions from Hatford clients
Is a smaller place like Hatford outside your area?
Not at all. Hatford is within our area. 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.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Oxford for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and we will price the work around it.
Do you replace windows or glass?
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Why act early in Hatford
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Around Hatford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
