Facade sealing in Hoo, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames after rain and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. For commercial sealant work in Hoo, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Hoo bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Hoo as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If others near Hoo need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photos, 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Other services in Hoo
Sites and facades in and around Hoo
Rainfall across the South East, Hoo included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Hoo has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
For contractors at a school such as Monkton Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Monkton Business Centre, which lies west of Hoo, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

When to call us in Hoo
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Look out for the following:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
With historic properties like Quex Park, 2.4 miles north-east of Hoo, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Is Monkton Business Centre, near Hoo, within your area?
Yes. We cover Hoo and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Monkton Business Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Hoo outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Owners, agents and contractors
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.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
