What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods

About our mastic sealing in Aldington
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about a mix of products and colours from past repairs and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Aldington from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Aldington, 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.

Common problems we fix in Aldington
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damp patches beside frames
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Ham Street station (4.1 miles south-west of Aldington) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Questions about Aldington
Can you work at a site such as Evegate Business Park, by Aldington?
Yes, sites like Evegate Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Aldington. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Aldington outside your area?
Not at all. Aldington is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. If others near Aldington need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Blocks and managed buildings in Aldington
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. At about 53 miles from central London, Aldington is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Historic properties like Westenhanger Castle (3.9 miles east of Aldington) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Site managers at schools like Aldington Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
