Mastic sealing near Chartham Hatch
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photos of the problem areas
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
About our mastic sealing in Chartham Hatch
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draught complaints from residents or tenants, across window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Chartham Hatch, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For buildings around smaller places like Chartham Hatch, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions we’re asked in Chartham Hatch
Is Chartham Hatch too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Chartham Hatch are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Chartham station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For a building around Chartham Hatch, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- 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.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Get a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. For buildings around smaller places like Chartham Hatch, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

At about 50 miles from central London, Chartham Hatch is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
