Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle mastic sealing in Herne Bay
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Herne Bay tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Towns the size of Herne Bay have a mix of blocks, flats over shops and small commercial buildings looked after by agents and landlords. Mastic around frames, external joints and communal doors ages and needs renewing.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, 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. For a town like Herne Bay, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit, with one quote covering them. Tell us when the building is open and we’ll plan to suit.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
Getting a fixed quote
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, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

If you own or manage units on a site such as Eddington Business Park, which lies south-west of Herne Bay, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Site managers at schools like Herne Bay Junior School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Questions about Herne Bay
Can you work at a site such as Eddington Business Park, by Herne Bay?
Yes, sites like Eddington Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Herne Bay. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you quote for a block close to Herne Bay station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
When to call us in Herne Bay
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For agents with blocks near Herne Bay station, which lies west of Herne Bay, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Proof of insurance
What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What else we do in Herne Bay
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance 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.
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.
What affects the price in Herne Bay
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
