About our mastic sealing in Hadlow
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain 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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and communal area joints that look neglected, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Hadlow it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Hadlow, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We normally work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to Beltring station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you take on work at estates like The Alders Industrial Estate, close to Hadlow?
Yes. We cover Hadlow and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as The Alders Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you cover Hadlow?
Yes. We cover Hadlow, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Our process
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 reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hadlow are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Block-wide mastic in Hadlow
Rainfall across the South East, Hadlow 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. Hadlow is about 26 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Landlords with units on estates such as The Alders Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Hadlow) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Mary's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as Hadlow Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Hadlow is about 3 miles north-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. We send applicators to Hadlow for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Hadlow is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. There’s a separate page for London, about 26 miles away.
Commercial sites across TN11 are covered for mastic joints. Streets here include The Square, High Street and Brookfields, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Just outside Hadlow, we also work in Pittswood (1 mile west), Goose Green (1 mile north-east), Golden Green (1 mile south), Parker's Green (1 mile south-west) and Barnes Street (1 mile south-east). Bigger towns within reach include Maidstone (9 miles east), Sevenoaks (7 miles north-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (7 miles south-west), Gravesend (14 miles north), Tonbridge (3 miles south-west) and Northfleet (14 miles north).

The countryside around Hadlow includes Barden Lake and Tudeley Woods RSPB reserve.
Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Around Hadlow, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
