Common questions from Bullockstone clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Herne Bay station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Bullockstone too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Mastic sealing in Bullockstone, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts at frames across a block and open joints in brickwork or panels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Bullockstone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Bullockstone, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Bullockstone as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Track which buildings were done and when
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

Block-wide mastic in Bullockstone
Bullockstone sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
For a school such as Thornden Wood Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For owners of several units at places like Eddington Business Park, 1 mile to the north of Bullockstone, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Older community buildings, Church of St Martin among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Bullockstone is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Bullockstone, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Bullockstone is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Our London page has more on work in that area.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
