Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Mastic sealing in Cheeseman's Green
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Cheeseman's Green from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Cheeseman's Green often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Common problems we fix in Cheeseman's Green
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Failed external movement joints
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Draughts at frames across a block
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Ashford International station (to the north-west of Cheeseman's Green) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Looking after buildings in and around Cheeseman's Green
Central London is about 51 miles from Cheeseman's Green. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
Historic properties like Godinton House, 4.3 miles to the north-west of Cheeseman's Green, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you own or manage units on a site such as Bliby Business Centre, which lies south of Cheeseman's Green, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Questions about Cheeseman's Green
Is Bliby Business Centre, near Cheeseman's Green, within your area?

Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Ashford International station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
