Mastic sealing for Ashley sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle mastic sealing in Ashley
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and damp patches beside frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Ashley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For buildings around smaller places like Ashley, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ashley
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Around Ashley, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Ashley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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. Ashley is about 64 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Older community buildings, East Studdal Church Hall among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. With historic buildings such as Walmer Castle (to the east of Ashley) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ashley should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Martin Mill station (to the south-east of Ashley) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Common questions from Ashley clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Martin Mill station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you work at a site such as Pike Road Industrial Estate, by Ashley?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ashley, Pike Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Is Ashley in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Ashley, with one number for every area we cover.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
