Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Bearsted
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. 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. If you have patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Bearsted it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Converted and older buildings in and around Bearsted often put modern windows into old walls. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Your questions answered
Is Bearsted off your patch?
No. Places such as Bearsted are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Bearsted station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
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’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
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 will tell you how we’d approach it.
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.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Several jobs near Bearsted can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Related advice
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Planned mastic for Bearsted portfolios
At about 33 miles from central London, Bearsted is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Bearsted sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For agents with blocks near Bearsted station, under half a mile north-east of Bearsted, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. If you own or manage units on a site such as Viewpoint Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Bearsted, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
