Mastic packages on New Pound sites
At about 25 miles from central London, New Pound is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Maidstone Hospital (5.2 miles east of New Pound), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Units on estates such as The Alders Industrial Estate (to the south-east of New Pound) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Facade sealing in New Pound
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are facade joints cracked through the middle and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in New Pound, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as New Pound is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near New Pound may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example 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.
Questions about New Pound
Does your area include sites such as The Alders Industrial Estate, near New Pound?
Yes, sites like The Alders Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of New Pound. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Maidstone Hospital?
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 work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in New Pound can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Common problems we fix in New Pound
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Projects at schools like Mereworth Community Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Providing access systems for the work
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
