How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Maxton, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Facade sealing in Maxton
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and new sealant peeling off old mastic.

What happens if it’s left?
Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Maxton tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Facade sealing in Maxton: the local picture
Maxton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Maxton 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like White Cliffs Business Park (to the north of Maxton) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Hotels like The Priory Hotel, 0.8 miles to the north-east of Maxton, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Extensions at sites like Buckland Hospital, 0.8 miles to the north of Maxton, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Maxton is about 1 mile south-west of Tower Hamlets, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Maxton. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 65 miles away.
We take on facade joints across the CT17 and CT15 postcode area, whatever the building. If your site is on Cow Lane, Manor Road and Mount Road or close by, send details and we’ll quote for facade joints.

A short drive away, we cover Canterbury (14 miles north-west), Folkestone (6 miles south-west), Deal (8 miles north-east), Hythe (10 miles west), Walmer (7 miles north-east) and Hawkinge (6 miles west).

FAQs: Maxton
Is a smaller place like Maxton outside your area?
No. Places such as Maxton are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Could you schedule work at a campus like East Kent College 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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
