Do you need mastic sealing in Eddington?
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Look out for the following:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Martin can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Mastic sealing in Eddington
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover 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. The enquiries we see most involve movement joints with sealant missing and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, across communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Eddington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Eddington, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. Send the addresses and photographs and we will quote for all of them together.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Questions we are asked in Eddington
Do you cover business parks and estates near Eddington, such as Eddington Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Eddington, Eddington Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
We manage a building near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you cover Eddington?
Yes. Sites across Eddington are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. What matters most for a job in Eddington is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.

Eddington sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. The 2 miles around Eddington include seven care or nursing homes. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
