Facades, frames and programmes in Hockley
Hockley is about 33 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Rainfall across the South East, Hockley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When a college such as South Essex College Stephenson Road Campus, 2.6 miles south of Hockley, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff. For contractors at a school such as Greensward Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New units and refits on sites such as Airport Business Park, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Hockley, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Hockley is about 2 miles east of Rayleigh, in Essex. Hockley sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 644 places in Essex. For work in that direction, see our London page.

How we handle facade sealing in Hockley
Managing agents and owners in Hockley ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you’re dealing with draughts around frames and panels and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hockley tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Hockley, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Hockley
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Hockley can form part of a wider programme.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. For buildings in places like Hockley, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a job in Hockley, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- 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 the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Hockley: questions and answers
Could you schedule work at a campus like South Essex College Stephenson Road Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Rochford Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
