Common problems we fix in Tickham
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Older buildings in the area around Tickham, such as Belmont House and Gardens (3.2 miles south-east of Tickham), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Tickham
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and previous reseals run over old sealant, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Tickham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Tickham, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why act early in Tickham
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tickham. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

New build and refits around Tickham
Rainfall across the South East, Tickham included, is lower than in many 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. Tickham is about 41 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
When a school such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Tickham is about 3 miles west of Faversham, in Kent. Any commercial site in Tickham is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Tickham among them. Sites around London have their own page, about 41 miles away.
We cover the ME9 postcode districts. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Nouds Lane and Tickham Lane and the roads nearby. If your building is just outside Tickham, we cover Lewson Street (1 mile north-east), Loyterton (1 mile south-west), Norton Ash (1 mile north-east), Teynham (1 mile north) and Deerton Street (1 mile north-east). A short drive away, we cover Maidstone (13 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (12 miles east), Sittingbourne (4 miles north-west), Whitstable (10 miles east) and Faversham (3 miles east).
Landmarks near Tickham
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Plough Inn. Tickham’s nearest station is Teynham station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (3.4 miles north-west) and Newnham Castle (1.9 miles south).
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints

Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Common questions from Tickham clients
Is Tickham off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Tickham?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
