About our mastic sealing in Birchden
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and open joints in brickwork or panels. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Birchden? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Rural conversions near places like Birchden often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Birchden clients
Does your area include sites such as Speldhurst Business Park, near Birchden?
Yes. Our area takes in Birchden and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Speldhurst Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near Eridge station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Halls, stores and units around places like Birchden may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

For owners and agents in Birchden
Birchden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Central London is about 30 miles from Birchden. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Student accommodation around universities such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, 3.8 miles north-east of Birchden, is normally managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Schools and community buildings such as Groombridge St Thomas' Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you look after a block within reach of Eridge station, which lies south of Birchden, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
