About our facade sealing in Hunters Forstal
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Most enquiries from Hunters Forstal start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Hunters Forstal, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building around Hunters Forstal, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Why it’s worth doing now in Hunters Forstal
Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. Halls, stores and units around places like Hunters Forstal may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

FAQs: Hunters Forstal
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like Eddington Business Park, close to Hunters Forstal?
Yes. Our area takes in Hunters Forstal and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Eddington Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Common problems we fix in Hunters Forstal
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
For contractors at a school such as Herne Church of England Infant School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Sites and facades in and around Hunters Forstal
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Hunters Forstal. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Hunters Forstal. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Units on estates such as Eddington Business Park, 0.9 miles to the north-west of Hunters Forstal, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. New wings at hospitals like Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital (to the north of Hunters Forstal) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
