Common questions from Ham clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Ham, such as Birnham Farm Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Birnham Farm Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Ham. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you quote for a block close to Sandwich station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Do you work in Ham?
Yes. Sites across Ham are covered.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ham
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have no planned programme for sealant and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Whoever orders the work in Ham, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Ham, 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Block-wide mastic in Ham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. At about 64 miles from central London, Ham is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Property owners at sites such as Birnham Farm Business Centre (to the north-west of Ham) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Older community buildings, Church of St George among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Older buildings near Ham, from historic houses such as Walmer Castle, 4.4 miles south-east of Ham, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Ham is about 3 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Ham, we can help. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Ham. There’s a separate page for London, about 64 miles away.

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
What affects the price in Ham
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Ham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
