How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
How we handle mastic sealing in Bilting
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you’re dealing with worn sealant at communal door frames and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bilting from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For owners with a single building near Bilting, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Converted and older buildings near places like Bilting tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us

Mastic sealing around Bilting: how the place shapes the job
Bilting is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. At about 49 miles from central London, Bilting is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Schools and community buildings such as Wye School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. For agents with blocks near Wye station, which lies south of Bilting, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Bilting is about 6 miles north-east of Ashford, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Bilting for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Bilting. There’s a separate page for London, about 49 miles away.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout TN25, whatever the building. For a building on Canterbury Road and Bilting Lane or nearby, we can quote for mastic joints. Nearby places we also cover include Godmersham (1 mile north-east), Mountain Street (2 miles north), Molash (2 miles north-west), Chilham (3 miles north-east) and Shottenden (3 miles north) for mastic joints. Further afield, our area takes in Ashford (6 miles south-west), Canterbury (8 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-east), Whitstable (11 miles north) and Faversham (8 miles north).

Questions we are asked in Bilting
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Bilting?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Wye station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you work in Bilting?
Yes. We cover Bilting and the rest of Kent. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Do you need mastic sealing in Bilting?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Lawrence can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

- How joint depth will be controlled
