Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Lympne change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is a smaller place like Lympne outside your area?
Not at all. Lympne is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
About our facade sealing in Lympne
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. 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. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are facade joints cracked through the middle and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Lympne? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Sites around smaller places like Lympne can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
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 and need a durable external sealant.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Building and refurbishing in Lympne
Lympne lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Central London is about 57 miles from Lympne. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle, 1.3 miles north of Lympne, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Lympne is about 2 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. We cover Lympne, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. Brighton is covered too, some 53 miles away.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Lympne. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lympne
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Converted and older buildings near places like Lympne tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

What else we do in Lympne
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For a building around Lympne, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

When to call us in Lympne
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
For contractors at a school such as Lympne Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Proof of insurance
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
