FAQs: Blean
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is John Roberts Business Park, near Blean, within your area?
Yes, sites like John Roberts Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Blean. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How we handle facade sealing in Blean
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. Most enquiries involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Blean is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Blean, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Contractors’ notes for Blean
Central London is about 51 miles from Blean. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Projects at schools like Blean Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For contractors on a campus like University of Kent, which lies south-east of Blean, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Blean is about 3 miles north-west of Canterbury, in Kent. We send applicators to Blean for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Blean is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Sites around London have their own page, about 51 miles away.

Do you need facade sealing in Blean?
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
New wings at hospitals like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, 2.4 miles south-east of Blean, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Why act early in Blean
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Halls, stores and units around places like Blean may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What else we do in Blean
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Owners, agents and contractors
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Blean. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For a building around Blean, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send your site hours and access windows
