Mastic sealing in Bedgebury Cross
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and no planned programme for sealant. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bedgebury Cross tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around smaller places like Bedgebury Cross, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common questions from Bedgebury Cross clients
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Bedgebury Cross?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Bedgebury Cross too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
For owners and agents in Bedgebury Cross
Rainfall across the South East, Bedgebury Cross included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Bedgebury Cross is about 37 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Property owners at sites such as Hartley Dyke Business Centre (2.7 miles east of Bedgebury Cross) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Older buildings near Bedgebury Cross, from historic houses such as Scotney Castle, 1.8 miles west of Bedgebury Cross, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Trustees of buildings like Christ Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Commercial clients in Bedgebury Cross
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs in and around smaller places like Bedgebury Cross are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

What affects the price in Bedgebury Cross
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
