Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Hurst Green can form part of a wider programme.
Facade sealing in Hurst Green, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you’re dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Hurst Green, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Hurst Green is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in Hurst Green
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
What the job involves on each 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, and primers go on where specified.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Common questions from Hurst Green clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hurst Green, such as Bodiam Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Hurst Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bodiam Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Hawkhurst Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Common problems we fix in Hurst Green
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
When units on a site such as Bodiam Business Park (to the south-east of Hurst Green) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Contractors’ notes for Hurst Green
Hurst Green is about 41 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. Hurst Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Hawkhurst Community Hospital (2.3 miles north-east of Hurst Green), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors at a school such as Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
