Mastic sealing in Fant
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and movement joints with sealant missing. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Fant? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Fant, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll quote for all of them together.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Fant need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Fant
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Property owners at sites such as Tovil Green Business Park, 0.9 miles to the east of Fant, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Block-wide mastic in Fant
Fant is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 30 miles from central London, Fant is within reach of the capital. 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.
Trustees of buildings like Parish Church of St Andrew can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you manage student housing near a university such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone (0.5 miles north-east of Fant), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
Fant is about 2 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. Looking for mastic sealing in Fant? We can help. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, Fant among them. We also cover London, around 30 miles from Fant.

Why act early in Fant
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. In a smaller place such as Fant, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Fant: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Fant outside your area?
Not at all. Fant 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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Fant, such as Tovil Green Business Park?
Yes, sites like Tovil Green Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fant. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
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 external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
