Mastic sealing in Benover
Across Benover and the rest of Kent, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. If you are dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and no planned programme for sealant, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Benover? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places like Benover, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Benover move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What we are called out for in Benover
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Landlords with units on estates such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate (to the west of Benover) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Your questions answered
We manage a building near Yalding station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Benover outside your area?
No. Places such as Benover are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Benover
Rainfall across the South East, Benover included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Benover is about 30 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
