Mastic sealing across Dungeness
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
FAQs: Dungeness
Can being near the sea in Dungeness affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is a smaller place like Dungeness outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Mastic sealing in Dungeness, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Dungeness and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is worn sealant at communal door frames and failed external movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Dungeness, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions near places like Dungeness 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 is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

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:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dungeness
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Older rural buildings around Dungeness move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Dungeness
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Around Dungeness, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
