FAQs: Doddington
We manage a building near Teynham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Doddington too far out for you?
No. Places such as Doddington are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Mastic sealing in Doddington, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Doddington and across Kent, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is a mix of products and colours from past repairs and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Doddington it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Doddington 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Mastic sealing in Doddington: the local picture
Doddington is about 40 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Student accommodation around universities such as Canterbury Christ Church University (to the west of Doddington) is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Historic properties like Belmont House and Gardens (to the east of Doddington) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Doddington is about 5 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Any commercial site in Doddington is covered. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. London is covered too, around 40 miles from Doddington.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Around Doddington, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- One number for every site we cover
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Rural sites near Doddington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
