Our mastic sealing service in Medway

Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and leaks at window and door perimeters, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints.

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next.

  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. We finish each building before moving to the next.

What affects the price in Medway

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Mastic sealing across Medway: the area picture

Medway has managed buildings of every age, from older blocks to new developments. We inspect the whole building first, so you know which joints need doing now.

We work across Greater London and the South East counties, and every job in Medway starts with access, parking and site rules. Coastal places in Medway often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, so work is often best planned for quieter months.

Gillingham: Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Gillingham (Kent) station, 1.5 miles north-west of Gillingham, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. For a school such as Featherby Junior School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

General trades versus a specialist

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Commercial clients in Medway

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Surface by surface

Estate-wide resealing programmes

A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.

Communal areas

Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.

Keeping the joints sound

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:

  • Start inspections with the most exposed faces
  • Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
  • Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
  • Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint

Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.

Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.

What happens if it’s left?

Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing.

What your quote should include

  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the existing material will be dealt with

Questions we are asked in Medway

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.

How much does the work cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.

How do you reach windows on upper floors?

We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.

How long does a typical visit take?

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

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.

Can weather delay the job?

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.

How do we ask for a quote?

There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
