Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Densole
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is damp patches beside frames and no planned programme for sealant. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Densole, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like Densole 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Densole as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.

General trades versus a 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.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Densole
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:

- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out

Looking after buildings in and around Densole
At about 60 miles from central London, Densole is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Densole included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Trustees of buildings like St Luke's can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you look after a block within reach of Folkestone West station (3.1 miles south of Densole), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
