About our mastic sealing in Ditton
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Ditton is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Ditton often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll quote for all of them together.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Ditton
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Property owners at sites such as South Aylesford Retail Park (to the east of Ditton) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What to look for in a quote
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- The named product and why it was chosen

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

Preparing the site

What affects the price in Ditton
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.

Surface by surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
