About our mastic sealing in Ashford
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ashford from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a town such as Ashford, buildings managed by agents and landlords range from flats over shops to small blocks and offices. Window and door perimeters, external joints and communal areas all need their mastic renewed from time to time.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. In Ashford, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. After a leak, there’s drying, repairs and redecoration on top.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Ashford
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Town-centre premises in Ashford may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. On estates and business parks it’s typically simpler.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Common questions from Ashford clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Ashford Surrey station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in 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.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
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’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.

Planned mastic for Ashford portfolios
Ashford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. Ashford lies roughly 17 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Older community buildings, Parish Church of St Matthew among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Student blocks close to universities like Royal Holloway University (4.4 miles west of Ashford) are easiest to work on between tenancies. If your remit includes a building such as Spelthorne College, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Ashford is about 6 miles south of Hayes, in Surrey. We send applicators to Ashford for mastic joints. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, large and small. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 17 miles from Ashford.
