About our mastic sealing in Boughton under 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. If you have occupiers reporting cold air round windows and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Boughton under Blean start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Boughton under Blean tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.

For owners and agents in Boughton under Blean
Boughton under Blean is about 48 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Barnabas are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you own or manage units on a site such as Waterham Business Park, 2.4 miles to the north of Boughton under Blean, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Boughton under Blean is about 3 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Boughton under Blean, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Boughton under Blean is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. There’s a separate page for London, about 48 miles away.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Rural sites near Boughton under Blean may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.

Common questions from Boughton under Blean clients
We manage a building near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Boughton under Blean too far out for you?
Not at all. Boughton under Blean is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, 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.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Why act early in Boughton under Blean
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Halls, stores and units around places like Boughton under Blean may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
