How we handle mastic sealing in Acol
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and movement joints with sealant missing, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Acol start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Acol, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Acol, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit

Do you need mastic sealing in Acol?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- No planned programme for sealant
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Movement joints with sealant missing
If you look after a block within reach of Birchington-On-Sea station, which lies north of Acol, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee

FAQs: Acol
Will you take on a block within reach of Birchington-On-Sea station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is a smaller place like Acol outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
For owners and agents in Acol
Acol is within about 2 miles of the coast. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. Acol is about 61 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Property owners at sites such as Manston Business Park (0.6 miles south-east of Acol) can have mastic renewed between lettings. With historic buildings such as Quex Park, 0.8 miles north-east of Acol, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Acol should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
