Mastic sealing for Charcott sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
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.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.

Planned mastic for Charcott portfolios
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Charcott lies roughly 24 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
With historic buildings such as Chiddingstone Castle (to the south-west of Charcott) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Charcott should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Owners of student blocks near University of Kent - Tonbridge (to the east of Charcott) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation. Older community buildings, Church of St Luke among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Charcott is about 4 miles west of Tonbridge, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Charcott for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. We also cover London, around 24 miles from Charcott.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Charcott, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site

- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Places near Charcott
What else we do in Charcott
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Commercial clients in Charcott
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Your questions answered
We manage a building near Penshurst station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Charcott?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
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.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Why it’s worth doing now in Charcott
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Around Charcott, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
