Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Around Hackington, 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.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Mastic sealing in Hackington
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and communal area joints that look neglected, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks. For commercial sealant work in Hackington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For owners with a single building near Hackington, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Hackington
When to bring in a specialist
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Questions we are asked in Hackington
Do you work in occupied care homes around Hackington?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
We manage a building near Canterbury West station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. 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.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Mastic sealing in Hackington: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Hackington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. At about 52 miles from central London, Hackington is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Older community buildings, Church of St Cosmus and St Damian among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Site managers at schools like The Archbishop's School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Common problems we fix in Hackington
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Complaints coming in block by block
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Buildings close to stations like Canterbury West station (1.4 miles south of Hackington) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Rural sites near Hackington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
