What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Chevening
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. Resealed mastic joints in Chevening carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and communal area joints that look neglected. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Chevening tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Chevening tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Chevening are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
What we are called out for in Chevening
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Buildings close to stations like Dunton Green station, 1.7 miles east of Chevening, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Before you book anyone
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Frames, entrances and external joints in Chevening
Chevening lies roughly 17 miles out from central London. 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. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Property owners at sites such as North Downs Business Park (1.2 miles north-east of Chevening) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Older buildings near Chevening, from historic houses such as Quebec House (to the south-west of Chevening) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Chevening is about 3 miles north-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Chevening sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Chevening. Sites around London have their own page, about 17 miles away.
If you need mastic sealing in TN14, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Just outside Chevening, we also work in Chipstead (1 mile south-east), Sundridge (2 miles south), Dunton Green (2 miles east), Bessels Green (2 miles south-east) and Riverhead (2 miles south-east). A short drive away, we cover Dartford (11 miles north), Sevenoaks (3 miles south-east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (13 miles south-east), Gravesend (14 miles north-east), Tonbridge (9 miles south-east) and Northfleet (13 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Chevening
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Trinity School. The closest station to Chevening is Dunton Green station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Sevenoaks Hospital (2.8 miles east) and Kemsing Castle Bank (4.2 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Dryhill Nature Reserve and Betsom's Hill.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Track which buildings were done and when
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.

Common questions from Chevening clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Dunton Green station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is a smaller place like Chevening outside your area?
Not at all. Chevening is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
