How we handle mastic sealing in Farleigh Green
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and water getting in round frames after rain, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Farleigh Green is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around smaller places like Farleigh Green, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. If others near Farleigh Green need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
Common questions from Farleigh Green clients
Is a smaller place like Farleigh Green outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Tovil Green Business Park, near Farleigh Green, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Farleigh Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Tovil Green Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.

Central London is about 30 miles from Farleigh Green. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
For a school such as East Farleigh Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Student blocks close to universities like University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone (to the north-east of Farleigh Green) are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Common problems we fix in Farleigh Green
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
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Trustees of buildings like All Saints Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Why act early in Farleigh Green
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Farleigh Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
