How we handle mastic sealing in Bossingham
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and communal area joints that look neglected, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Bossingham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Bossingham 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Block-wide mastic in Bossingham
Bossingham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Bossingham lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Historic properties like Acrise Place (4.9 miles south-east of Bossingham) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. For agents with blocks near Chartham station, which lies north-west of Bossingham, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Bossingham is about 6 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Bossingham use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Kent.

If your building is just outside Bossingham, we cover Stelling Minnis (1 mile south-west), Waltham (2 miles west), Rhodes Minnis (4 miles south), Stowting Common (4 miles south-west) and Ottinge (4 miles south).

Near you in Bossingham
For rail, the closest station is Chartham station, roughly 4.8 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Kent and Canterbury Hospital (4.7 miles north).
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
FAQs: Bossingham
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Chartham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Bossingham?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Should maintenance staff do it?
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
