About our mastic sealing in Breach
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Breach carry our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve no planned programme for sealant and open joints in brickwork or panels, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Breach first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Breach, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Blocks and managed buildings in Breach
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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. At about 58 miles from central London, Breach is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Snowdown station (3.6 miles north-east of Breach) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Property owners at sites such as Barham Business Park, less than half a mile north-east of Breach, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Breach is about 5 miles north of Hawkinge, in Kent. Breach sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Breach. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common problems we fix in Breach
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Historic properties like Acrise Place, 3.4 miles south of Breach, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Breach may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.

Advice
Questions about Breach
Will you take on a block within reach of Snowdown station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Breach outside your area?
No. Places such as Breach 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.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.

What else we do in Breach
Work for main contractors and building owners

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Breach. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
