Common questions from Godmersham clients
Is a smaller place like Godmersham outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Godmersham?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Mastic sealing in Godmersham
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Godmersham carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Godmersham tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around smaller places like Godmersham, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Godmersham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Mastic sealing in Godmersham: the local picture
Godmersham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Godmersham is about 50 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Lawrence are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For agents with blocks near Chilham station (1.8 miles north of Godmersham), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Godmersham is about 7 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Godmersham use us for work on mastic joints. Godmersham is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for mastic joints. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 50 miles away.

Why deal with it now?
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. Converted and older buildings near places like Godmersham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
