Mastic sealing for businesses in Kemsing
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 Kemsing
Treatment starts with a proper look: 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, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are communal area joints that look neglected and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Whoever orders the work in Kemsing, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Converted and older buildings in and around Kemsing often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Several jobs near Kemsing can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Kemsing
Central London is about 19 miles from Kemsing. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Kemsing 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 look after a block within reach of Otford station (1 mile north-west of Kemsing), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you own or manage units on a site such as Goya Business Park Sevenoaks (1.3 miles south-west of Kemsing), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.

A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Questions we are asked in Kemsing
Is a smaller place like Kemsing outside your area?
No. Places such as Kemsing are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Goya Business Park Sevenoaks, near Kemsing?
Yes. Our area takes in Kemsing and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Goya Business Park Sevenoaks included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
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.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
