Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Fordcombe
Managing agents and housing associations usually need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and worn sealant at communal door frames, across communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fordcombe is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Fordcombe, 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. For buildings around smaller places like Fordcombe, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Failed material removed, not covered up

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For work around Fordcombe, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Advice
Blocks and managed buildings in Fordcombe
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Fordcombe is about 27 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Buildings close to stations like Ashurst Kent station, 1.4 miles south-west of Fordcombe, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Student accommodation around universities such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, 3 miles east of Fordcombe, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. For owners of several units at places like Speldhurst Business Park, 1.8 miles east of Fordcombe, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

What else we do in Fordcombe
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Fordcombe
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
