Mastic sealing in Bockhanger
Managing agents and housing associations usually need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are no planned programme for sealant and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Searching for sealant specialists in Bockhanger? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In a smaller place such as Bockhanger, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?
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. Small buildings around Bockhanger suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Do you need mastic sealing in Bockhanger?
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Bockhanger need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Request a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods

Blocks and managed buildings in Bockhanger
At about 48 miles from central London, Bockhanger is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Bockhanger included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
If you look after a block within reach of Ashford International station, 1.5 miles south of Bockhanger, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Phoenix Community Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Bockhanger is about 2 miles north of Ashford, in Kent. We cover Bockhanger and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Bockhanger is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for mastic joints. We also cover London, around 48 miles from Bockhanger.
