Mastic sealing in Broomfield
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Mastic sealing in Broomfield, done properly
Across Broomfield and the rest of Kent, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. The enquiries we see most involve brittle perimeter mastic across a building and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Broomfield, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Broomfield, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
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.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Broomfield, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.

Getting the site ready

Why act early in Broomfield
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Around Broomfield, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Questions we’re asked in Broomfield
Is Broomfield too far out for you?
Not at all. Broomfield is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Eddington Business Park, by Broomfield?
Yes, sites like Eddington Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Broomfield. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Blocks and managed buildings in Broomfield
Broomfield sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. Seven care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Broomfield. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
If you look after a block within reach of Herne Bay station, which lies west of Broomfield, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as Herne Church of England Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
