How we handle mastic sealing in Ashford
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and communal area joints that look neglected, across external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Whoever orders the work in Ashford, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For owners with a single building near Ashford, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What else we do in Ashford
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ashford. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Questions we are asked in Ashford
Is Ashford off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Ashford?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
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.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
What affects the price in Ashford
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
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.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
For owners and agents in Ashford
Rainfall across the South East, Ashford included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
For a school such as Fordingbridge Junior School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For owners of several units at places like Fordingbridge Business Park (less than half a mile south-west of Ashford), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

When to call us in Ashford
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
With historic buildings such as Breamore House, 3 miles to the north of Ashford, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ashford should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Before you book anyone

- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
