For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Mastic sealing in Elmstone, done properly
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are window mastic that has split and shrunk and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Elmstone, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Elmstone tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What we’re called out for in Elmstone
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damp patches beside frames
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Minster station, 3.9 miles north-east of Elmstone, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Why act early in Elmstone
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Around Elmstone, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Mastic sealing in Elmstone: the local picture
Elmstone lies roughly 59 miles out from central London. 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, Elmstone included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Historic properties like Goodnestone Park, 3.9 miles to the south of Elmstone, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you are responsible for a building such as Elmstone Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Elmstone is about 7 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Anywhere in CT3, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 59 miles away.
