Mastic sealing in Bekesbourne, done properly
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are communal area joints that look neglected and no planned programme for sealant. Most enquiries from Bekesbourne start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around smaller places like Bekesbourne, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Why deal with it now?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bekesbourne, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Bekesbourne can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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 sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- 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.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Bekesbourne: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Bekesbourne outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Canterbury Business Park, close to Bekesbourne?
Yes, sites like Canterbury Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bekesbourne. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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 external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
What paperwork can you provide?
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 are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
