How we handle mastic sealing in Appledore Heath
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Appledore Heath tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Appledore Heath tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Appledore Heath
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Older buildings near Appledore Heath, from historic houses such as Smallhythe Place, 3.6 miles west of Appledore Heath, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Comparing quotes
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Quoting for work in Appledore Heath
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
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.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions about Appledore Heath
Will you price a mastic programme across our Appledore Heath portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Can you quote for a block close to Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
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.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Is Appledore Heath in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Appledore Heath, and the same phone number covers every area.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: 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.
