About our mastic sealing in Kennington
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. The enquiries we see most involve no planned programme for sealant and movement joints with sealant missing, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kennington tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Places the size of Kennington usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Work in places the size of Kennington is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.

- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
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.
Why appoint us
- Colour agreed before work starts
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Mastic sealing around Kennington: what changes locally
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. Kennington is about 48 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
With historic buildings such as Godinton House, 2.3 miles west of Kennington, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Kennington should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For owners of several units at places like Eurogate Business Park (0.8 miles west of Kennington), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If your remit includes a building such as Kennington Church of England Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Kennington is about 2 miles north-east of Ashford, in Kent. Any commercial site in Kennington is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Kennington is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 48 miles away.

What the job involves on each surface

An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
