Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Brasted Chart
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Brasted Chart tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around smaller places like Brasted Chart, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Brasted Chart are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.

Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Brasted Chart
Rainfall across the South East, Brasted Chart included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Brasted Chart lies roughly 18 miles out 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.
Historic properties like Quebec House (to the west of Brasted Chart) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Buildings close to stations like Sevenoaks station (3.6 miles east of Brasted Chart) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Brasted Chart is about 4 miles west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Anywhere in TN16, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 18 miles from Brasted Chart.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brasted Chart
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Converted and older buildings near places like Brasted Chart tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Brasted Chart: questions and answers
Is Salters Heath Business Centre, near Brasted Chart, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Brasted Chart, Salters Heath Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Brasted Chart off your patch?
Not at all. Brasted Chart is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
