When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building

How we handle facade sealing in Gadshill
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Gadshill. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Gadshill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Gadshill, 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.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What else we do in Gadshill
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Mastic packages on Gadshill sites
Gadshill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 25 miles from Gadshill. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Projects at schools like Strood Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Historic houses such as Temple Manor (1.9 miles south-east of Gadshill) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Gadshill is about 2 miles north-west of Rochester, in Kent. Gadshill sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Gadshill is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for facade joints. There’s a separate page for London, about 25 miles away.
We cover the ME3 postcode districts. If your site is on Copperfield Crescent, Charles Dickens Avenue and Gravesend Road or close by, send details and we will quote for facade joints. If your building is just outside Gadshill, we cover Higham (1 mile north), Shorne Ridgeway (1 mile west), Shorne (1 mile west), Lower Higham (1 mile north) and Mockbeggar (2 miles north-east). Bigger towns within reach include Maidstone (10 miles south), Sittingbourne (13 miles east), Dartford (10 miles west), Sevenoaks (15 miles south-west), Gravesend (4 miles west) and Northfleet (5 miles west).
Local landmarks in Gadshill
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Sir John Falstaff Public House, Temple School and Higham Primary School and the streets around them. Gadshill’s nearest station is Higham station, about 1.2 miles north. Nearby you’ll also find Pentagon Shopping Centre (3.3 miles south-east) and Huguenot Museum (2.3 miles south-east). The countryside around Gadshill includes Gad's Hill and Rede Common.
Common problems we fix in Gadshill
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Draughts around frames and panels
Units on estates such as Gun Lane Business Centre, 1.6 miles south-east of Gadshill, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around Gadshill can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Common questions from Gadshill clients
Does your area include sites such as Gun Lane Business Centre, near Gadshill?
Yes. Our area takes in Gadshill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Gun Lane Business Centre included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Gadshill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we will ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
