About our mastic sealing in Blean
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Most enquiries involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and open joints in brickwork or panels, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Blean tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Blean tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Blean
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Common questions from Blean clients
Can work in a care setting near Blean go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Is Blean off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Log resealing dates block by block
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
What we’re called out for in Blean
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Site managers at schools like Blean Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The named product and why it was chosen
