About our facade sealing in Mockbeggar
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we’ll fit the work around it. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and leaks at window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Mockbeggar, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Mockbeggar, 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 usually 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.

New build and refits around Mockbeggar
Mockbeggar is within about 3 miles of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Mockbeggar included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When a school such as Cliffe Woods Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Further education sites such as MidKent College Gillingham Campus (to the south-east of Mockbeggar) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Mockbeggar is about 2 miles north of Rochester, in Medway. Any commercial site in Mockbeggar is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 54 places in Medway, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 26 miles away.

The countryside around Mockbeggar includes Rede Common and Gad's Hill.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
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
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
Do you need facade sealing in Mockbeggar?
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
On a healthcare site such as French Hospital, 2.4 miles to the south of Mockbeggar, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Proof of insurance

Other services in Mockbeggar
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Common questions from Mockbeggar clients
Is Mockbeggar too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Mockbeggar are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as French Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
From enquiry to sign-off
