Mastic sealing in Frittenden
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you are dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and no planned programme for sealant, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Frittenden is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For buildings around smaller places like Frittenden, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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 we’re called out for in Frittenden
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 something like this:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Advice
For owners and agents in Frittenden
Rainfall across the South East, Frittenden included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. At about 39 miles from central London, Frittenden is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
For a school such as Frittenden Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Headcorn station, 2.5 miles to the north-east of Frittenden, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
