Mastic sealing for Aylesham sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Aylesham
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old repairs sealed over failed mastic and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Aylesham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Aylesham often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll quote for all of them together.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
What we’re called out for in Aylesham
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Damp patches beside frames
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
For owners of several units at places like Aylesham Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Aylesham, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Aylesham need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.

Advice
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Aylesham: questions and answers
Is Aylesham off your patch?
No. Places such as Aylesham are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for a block close to Aylesham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Looking after buildings in and around Aylesham
At about 59 miles from central London, Aylesham is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Aylesham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Older community buildings, St Peter among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Historic properties like Goodnestone Park, 1.6 miles north-east of Aylesham, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
