About our mastic sealing in Betsham
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draughts at frames across a block, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Betsham, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Betsham, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Betsham: questions and answers
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Longfield station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Can you work at a site such as Fawkham Business Park, by Betsham?
Yes. We cover Betsham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Fawkham Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you cover Betsham?
Yes. Betsham falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Betsham, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- 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 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.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
