Mastic sealing in Hamstreet
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you’re dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hamstreet, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Hamstreet tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

For owners and agents in Hamstreet
Hamstreet is about 51 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Hamstreet is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Property owners at sites such as Meadow View Business Park (0.8 miles east of Hamstreet) can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of the Good Shepherd, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Older rural buildings around Hamstreet move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What you get with us
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Colour options checked against the specified product

Building owners, agents and FMs in Hamstreet
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.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Common problems we fix in Hamstreet
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
If your remit includes a building such as Hamstreet Primary Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Questions about Hamstreet
We manage a building near Ham Street station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is Hamstreet too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Hamstreet is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
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, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For work around Hamstreet, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
