Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Hollybushes
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints alike.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Hollybushes
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Hollybushes can form part of a wider programme.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Hollybushes
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For a school such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Student blocks close to universities like Canterbury Christ Church University (to the south-west of Hollybushes) are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Kent Science Park, close to Hollybushes?
Yes, sites like Kent Science Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hollybushes. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
We manage a building near Sittingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work in Hollybushes?
Yes. We cover Hollybushes. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
