Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings

How we handle mastic sealing in Flemings
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. The enquiries we see most involve open joints in brickwork or panels and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, across communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Whoever orders the work in Flemings, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Flemings, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

What affects the price in Flemings
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode

Block-wide mastic in Flemings
Central London is about 61 miles from Flemings. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Flemings is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
If you look after a block within reach of Sandwich station (2.8 miles east of Flemings), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. With historic buildings such as Goodnestone Park, 2.7 miles south-west of Flemings, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Flemings should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Flemings is about 6 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Flemings for work on mastic joints. Flemings is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for mastic joints. We also cover London, around 61 miles from Flemings.

Local landmarks in Flemings

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Flemings
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Common problems we fix in Flemings
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damp patches beside frames
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Nicholas are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled

Questions we are asked in Flemings
Can you quote for a block close to Sandwich station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Does your area include sites such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, near Flemings?
Yes. Our area takes in Flemings and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Do you cover Flemings?
Yes. Flemings falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Flemings need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
