Mastic sealing in Ashbank, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Ashbank and across Kent, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. The enquiries we see most involve communal area joints that look neglected and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ashbank it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural conversions near places like Ashbank often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

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. Around Ashbank, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Planned mastic for Ashbank portfolios
Ashbank is about 35 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Ashbank included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Site managers at schools like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Hollingbourne station, 1.1 miles north-east of Ashbank, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Landlords with units on estates such as Roebuck Business Park, 2.5 miles to the east of Ashbank, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Ashbank is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Any commercial site in Ashbank is covered. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Questions we’re asked in Ashbank
Is Ashbank too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Roebuck Business Park, near Ashbank, within your area?
Yes, sites like Roebuck Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Ashbank. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For work around Ashbank, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Site staff or a sealant 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
