Mastic sealing for Grafty Green sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Mastic sealing in Grafty Green
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have draughts at frames across a block and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Grafty Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Grafty Green tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
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.

What else we do in Grafty Green
When to call us in Grafty Green
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Look out for the following:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
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.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Grafty Green are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Grafty Green: questions and answers
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Lenham station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does your area include sites such as Roebuck Business Park, near Grafty Green?
Yes, sites like Roebuck Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Grafty Green. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Grafty Green
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Converted and older buildings near places like Grafty Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
