Mastic sealing in Farthingloe, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are no planned programme for sealant and draught complaints from residents or tenants. For commercial sealant work in Farthingloe, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For buildings around smaller places like Farthingloe, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

If you look after a block within reach of Dover Priory station (1.3 miles north-east of Farthingloe), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For a school such as Aycliffe Community Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.

Do you need mastic sealing in Farthingloe?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed external movement joints
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Aycliffe Church Centre are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Halls, stores and units around places like Farthingloe may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why clients in Farthingloe choose us
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Colours confirmed for the specified product

FAQs: Farthingloe
Is Farthingloe too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is White Cliffs Business Park, near Farthingloe, within your area?
Yes, sites like White Cliffs Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Farthingloe. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
