Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Concept Court Business Park, close to Arpinge?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Arpinge, Concept Court Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Arpinge off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How we handle mastic sealing in Arpinge
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you’re dealing with failed external movement joints and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Arpinge? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For buildings around smaller places like Arpinge, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Planned mastic for Arpinge portfolios
Arpinge lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Arpinge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Trustees of buildings like St Oswald's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. For a school such as Harcourt Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Arpinge is about 1 mile south-west of Hawkinge, in Kent. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Arpinge, we can help, as we do across Kent. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 58 miles from Arpinge.
We take on mastic joints across the CT18 postcode area, whatever the building. We also cover Hawkinge (1 mile north-east), Densole (2 miles north-east), Old Hawkinge (2 miles east), Swingfield Minnis (3 miles north-east) and Elham (3 miles north). A short drive away, we cover Ashford (12 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north), Dover (8 miles east), Deal (14 miles north-east), Hythe (3 miles south-west) and Tower Hamlets (7 miles east).
Landmarks near Arpinge
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Cat & Custard Pot pub, among other places. Arpinge’s nearest station is Folkestone West station, roughly 1.7 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Royal Victoria Hospital (2.2 miles south-east) and Folkestone Castle (1.4 miles south-east). The countryside around Arpinge includes Cheriton Hill.
Why deal with it now?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Halls, stores and units around places like Arpinge may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Do you need mastic sealing in Arpinge?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Buildings close to stations like Folkestone West station (1.7 miles south-east of Arpinge) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
For managing agents and facilities managers

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

What else we do in Arpinge
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
