Mastic sealing in Cuxton, done properly
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Cuxton first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Cuxton, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
What happens if it’s left?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Older rural buildings around Cuxton move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For work around Cuxton, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.

Nearby places to Cuxton
Also in Cuxton
For owners and agents in Cuxton
Central London is about 25 miles from Cuxton. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; 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, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Older community buildings, Church of St Michael and All Angels among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Schools and community buildings such as Cuxton Community Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Student blocks close to universities like University for the Creative Arts - Rochester (to the east of Cuxton) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
Cuxton is about 2 miles south-west of Rochester, in Medway. We send applicators to Cuxton for mastic joints. 54 places across Medway fall within our area, including Cuxton. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 25 miles from Cuxton.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Cuxton can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Questions about Cuxton
Can you quote for a block close to Cuxton station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Cuxton too far out for you?
Not at all. Cuxton is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
