About our mastic sealing in Hawkenbury
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is occupiers reporting cold air round windows and water getting in round frames after rain. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hawkenbury it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Hawkenbury often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common questions from Hawkenbury clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Hawkenbury off your patch?
Not at all. Hawkenbury is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
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.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Blocks and managed buildings in Hawkenbury
Hawkenbury is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 31 miles from Hawkenbury. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Tunbridge Wells station (to the north-west of Hawkenbury) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Student blocks close to universities like Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons (2.5 miles north-west of Hawkenbury) are easiest to work on between tenancies. For owners of several units at places like Royal Victoria Shopping Centre, 1 mile to the north-west of Hawkenbury, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Hawkenbury is about 1 mile south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Hawkenbury use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Hawkenbury.

Around Hawkenbury
Around Hawkenbury, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Dunorlan Park, The Hawkenbury pub and The Skinners’ Kent Academy, among other places. Hawkenbury’s nearest station is Tunbridge Wells station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital (1 mile north-west) and The Amelia (1 mile north-west). For a walk, there’s Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve.
Why deal with it now?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. For buildings in places like Hawkenbury, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
