Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The site address and postcode

How we handle mastic sealing in Hollingbourne
For blocks and buildings in Hollingbourne and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and leaks at window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hollingbourne first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Hollingbourne often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Blocks and managed buildings in Hollingbourne
Hollingbourne lies roughly 36 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Hollingbourne sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you’re responsible for a building such as All Saints Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. If you own or manage units on a site such as Roebuck Business Park (2.2 miles south-east of Hollingbourne), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Hollingbourne
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
For a school such as Hollingbourne Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Before you book anyone

- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Hollingbourne move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
