Questions we’re asked in Hales Place
Can you work at a site such as Maybrook Retail Park, by Hales Place?
Yes. Our area takes in Hales Place and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Maybrook Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Hales Place 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.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Hales Place
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. Whoever orders the work in Hales Place, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Hales Place often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
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.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.

Looking after buildings in and around Hales Place
Hales Place has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Older community buildings, Church of St Stephen among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Buildings close to stations like Canterbury West station (to the south of Hales Place) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When to call us in Hales Place
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For a school such as St Stephen's Junior School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
