What we are called out for in Aldington Frith
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Failed external movement joints
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Ham Street station (3.3 miles south-west of Aldington Frith) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

About our mastic sealing in Aldington Frith
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and failed external movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Aldington Frith is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Aldington Frith, 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 is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Aldington Frith
Frames, entrances and external joints in Aldington Frith
At about 52 miles from central London, Aldington Frith is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Aldington Frith included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Historic properties like Westenhanger Castle (to the east of Aldington Frith) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Landlords with units on estates such as Bliby Business Centre (1 mile north-west of Aldington Frith) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

FAQs: Aldington Frith
Does your area include sites such as Bliby Business Centre, near Aldington Frith?
Yes, sites like Bliby Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Aldington Frith. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Aldington Frith too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
