Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have worn sealant at communal door frames and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can put it right.

For owners with a single building near Bobbing, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What else we do in Bobbing
What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bobbing. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why clients in Bobbing choose us

Do you need mastic sealing in Bobbing?
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
If you own or manage units on a site such as Newington Enterprise Centre, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Bobbing, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Bobbing may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.

Advice
Mastic sealing around Bobbing: what changes locally
Bobbing lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Rainfall across the South East, Bobbing 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.
Buildings close to stations like Newington station (1.4 miles west of Bobbing) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Bartholomew, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

FAQs: Bobbing
Is Bobbing too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Bobbing are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
We manage a building near Newington station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
