How we handle mastic sealing in Hawkinge
For blocks and buildings in Hawkinge and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. 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 no planned programme for sealant and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hawkinge is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a smaller place such as Hawkinge, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When to call us in Hawkinge
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Failed external movement joints
If your remit includes a building such as The Churchill School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
For owners and agents in Hawkinge
Hawkinge lies within about 3 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. Hawkinge is about 60 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Owners of student blocks near University Centre Folkestone (2.4 miles south-east of Hawkinge) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Luke's are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Hawkinge is about 2 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. We send applicators to Hawkinge for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, Hawkinge among them. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area.

- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints

Questions about Hawkinge
Can being near the sea in Hawkinge affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hawkinge, such as West Park Farm North Retail Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hawkinge, West Park Farm North Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Is Hawkinge in your area?
Yes. We cover Hawkinge and the rest of Kent. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
