Why it’s worth doing now in Headcorn
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure. For buildings in places like Headcorn, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why clients in Headcorn choose us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- One number for every site we cover
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Specification-led, product-correct work
Facade sealing in Headcorn, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cladding panel joints that have opened up and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. For commercial sealant work in Headcorn, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around places like Headcorn, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
Sites and facades in and around Headcorn
Headcorn is about 39 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Headcorn 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, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
When a school such as Headcorn Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Units on estates such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, 1 mile north-west of Headcorn, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Extensions at sites like Benenden Hospital, 5.8 miles to the south of Headcorn, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Headcorn is about 8 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Headcorn use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Kent.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
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.
Questions about Headcorn
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Benenden Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you take on work at estates like Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, close to Headcorn?
Yes, sites like Barradale Farm Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Headcorn. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Several jobs near Headcorn can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
