Questions we’re asked in The Hummicks
Is The Hummicks too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Hardley Industrial Estate, near The Hummicks?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around The Hummicks, Hardley Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Mastic sealing in The Hummicks, done properly
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 if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with no planned programme for sealant and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in The Hummicks, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like The Hummicks, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Commercial clients in The Hummicks
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Our quote form is another easy route.
Why it’s worth doing now in The Hummicks
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. Older rural buildings around The Hummicks move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.

The Hummicks lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For owners of several units at places like Hardley Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles north-east of The Hummicks, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If your remit includes a building such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. For agents with blocks near Beaulieu Road station, 4.2 miles north-west of The Hummicks, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
