Mastic sealing in Charlton-in-Dover
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you’re dealing with communal area joints that look neglected and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Charlton-in-Dover, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Charlton-in-Dover often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Looking after buildings in and around Charlton-in-Dover
Charlton-in-Dover lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. Charlton-in-Dover lies roughly 66 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Buildings close to stations like Dover Priory station (to the south of Charlton-in-Dover) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you own or manage units on a site such as White Cliffs Business Park, 1.3 miles north of Charlton-in-Dover, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows usually get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. For buildings in places like Charlton-in-Dover, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
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 can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
