Managing agents and owners in Skippers Hill ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows.

If you are dealing with water coming in around window frames and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Skippers Hill? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Questions we are asked in Skippers Hill
Is Skippers Hill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Station Road Industrial Estate, near Skippers Hill, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Skippers Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Station Road Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Building and refurbishing in Skippers Hill
Skippers Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Skippers Hill is about 37 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For contractors at a school such as Skippers Hill Manor School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, 4.1 miles to the north-west of Skippers Hill, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Station Road Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Skippers Hill, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Why it’s worth doing now in Skippers Hill
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Around Skippers Hill, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Skippers Hill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you

Advice
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
