Mastic sealing in Eynsford
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Site teams most often ask us about complaints coming in block by block and draughts at frames across a block, across communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Eynsford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Eynsford 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Eynsford
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Around Eynsford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Your questions answered
Is Eynsford too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Eynsford is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
We manage a building near Eynsford station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Who decides which product is used?
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.

At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off.
