Why deal with it now?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. For buildings around smaller places like Crockenhill, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Crockenhill
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you have no planned programme for sealant and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Crockenhill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Crockenhill tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
For owners and agents in Crockenhill
Crockenhill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Crockenhill is about 14 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
If you look after a block within reach of Swanley station, 0.8 miles north of Crockenhill, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For a school such as Crockenhill Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you own or manage units on a site such as Mark Way Industrial Estate (1.2 miles east of Crockenhill), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

FAQs: Crockenhill
We manage a building near Swanley station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Crockenhill too far out for you?
No. Places such as Crockenhill are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How many days will you need on site?
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.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
On site: what to expect
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 we move to the next. Rural sites near Crockenhill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
