Mastic sealing in Allington
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and draughts at frames across a block, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Allington first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Allington often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

FAQs: Allington
Will you work in a care home in Allington without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Allington, such as Mid Kent Shopping Centre?
Yes. Our area takes in Allington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Mid Kent Shopping Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: 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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you work in Allington?
Yes. We cover Allington, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and we clear our waste as we work. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Allington need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- 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.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Get a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Block-wide mastic in Allington
Allington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Allington has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
If you look after a block within reach of Barming station, 0.8 miles west of Allington, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Allington Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Student blocks close to universities like University for the Creative Arts, 1 mile to the south of Allington, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
