About our mastic sealing in Bircholt Forstal
Across Bircholt Forstal 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. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. Most enquiries from Bircholt Forstal 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.
Around smaller places like Bircholt Forstal, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Your questions answered
Is Bircholt Forstal too far out for you?
Not at all. Bircholt Forstal is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Westenhanger station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Mastic sealing in Bircholt Forstal: the local picture
Bircholt Forstal lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Bircholt Forstal included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
For a school such as Brabourne Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older buildings near Bircholt Forstal, from historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (to the south-east of Bircholt Forstal) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
