Mastic sealing across Kent: what to expect

Across Kent, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Site teams most often ask us about worn sealant at communal door frames and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints.

At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

  1. First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
  2. A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
  3. Failed mastic is removed completely.
  4. Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
  5. Buildings are completed in turn.

Around Maidstone

We work on buildings around Paper Makers Arms, Maidstone Grammar School and St Philip's Church and the streets around them. You will also find River Len LNR (under half a mile north-east), South Borough Primary School (under half a mile south) and St Augustine Academy (1.2 miles west). The nearest railway station is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west. Other landmarks nearby include Maidstone Carriage Museum (under half a mile north-west) and Oakwood Hospital (1.8 miles west). Open spaces near Maidstone include Burham Down and Boxley Hills.

Blocks and managed buildings across Kent

Buildings across Kent range from older blocks with replacement windows to recent developments. We inspect the whole building first, so you know which joints need doing now.

The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and Kent is part of the area we cover. Parts of Kent lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.

Maidstone: Student accommodation around universities such as University for the Creative Arts (1.3 miles west of Maidstone) is normally managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Schools and community buildings such as South Borough Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

General trades versus a specialist

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.

Cost factors for mastic joints

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:

  • How much there is to seal
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Access and working height

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Sending details for a quote

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

  • Your programme or deadline
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Common problems we fix in Kent

Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.

Look out for the following:

  • Open joints in brickwork or panels
  • Damp patches beside frames
  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk
  • Occupiers reporting cold air round windows

What happens if it’s left?

Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme.

Comparing quotes

  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents
  • Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

What sealant work can’t fix

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:

  • Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
  • Materials that need asbestos testing before work
  • Substrate edges that need repairing first

Questions we are asked in Kent

Do you cover Kent?

Yes. Sites across Kent are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.

How long does a job like this take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

Do you take on small jobs?

Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

Do you guarantee the mastic work?

Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

When can the area be used after sealing?

That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

What will the job cost?

That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.

Can people stay in the building while you reseal?

Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
