Mastic sealing in Garlinge Green
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are complaints coming in block by block and open joints in brickwork or panels. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Garlinge Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Garlinge Green, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Related advice
Signs you need mastic sealing in Garlinge Green
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
For agents with blocks near Chartham station, which lies north of Garlinge Green, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Garlinge Green, such as Stour Valley Business Park?
Yes, sites like Stour Valley Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Garlinge Green. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you quote for a block close to Chartham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
What affects the price in Garlinge Green
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Around Garlinge Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
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.

Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
