Harbledown: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Wincheap Industrial Estate, by Harbledown?
Yes, sites like Wincheap Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Harbledown. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work in a care home near Harbledown with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.

Mastic sealing in Harbledown
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and failed external movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Harbledown, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Harbledown 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Common problems we fix in Harbledown
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
For owners of several units at places like Wincheap Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles to the south-east of Harbledown, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Harbledown. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home. Harbledown sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
If you look after a block within reach of Canterbury West station (0.8 miles east of Harbledown), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Kent (0.9 miles north of Harbledown) is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

Why deal with it now?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Harbledown may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

Commercial clients in Harbledown
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, 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, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
