Mastic sealing in Badlesmere, done properly
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, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about old repairs sealed over failed mastic and water getting in round frames after rain, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Badlesmere first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Badlesmere, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work

What else we do in Badlesmere
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. 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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Badlesmere are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Do you need mastic sealing in Badlesmere?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Draughts at frames across a block
If you look after a block within reach of Selling station (2.7 miles north-east of Badlesmere), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
What affects the price in Badlesmere
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Mastic sealing around Badlesmere: what changes locally
Central London is about 45 miles from Badlesmere. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Badlesmere sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Site managers at schools like Sheldwich Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Leonard, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Badlesmere is about 4 miles south of Preston, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Badlesmere, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Badlesmere is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. London is covered too, some 45 miles away.

FAQs: Badlesmere
Will you price a mastic programme across our Badlesmere portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Badlesmere too far out for you?
No. Places such as Badlesmere are covered as much as the big towns. 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 people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
When to bring in a 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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
