Mastic sealing in Ickham
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ickham
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are window mastic that has split and shrunk and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Ickham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For buildings around smaller places like Ickham, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
Common problems we fix in Ickham
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St John, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Ickham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

What else we do in Ickham
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Older rural buildings around Ickham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

FAQs: Ickham
Is Ickham too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

For a school such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For agents with blocks near Bekesbourne station, which lies south-west of Ickham, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
