About our mastic sealing in Kings Hill
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have old repairs sealed over failed mastic and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Kings Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Kings Hill mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Mastic sealing around Kings Hill: points for this area
Central London is about 27 miles from Kings Hill. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Property owners at sites such as Kings Hill Business Park, less than half a mile to the north-west of Kings Hill, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Owners of student blocks near University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone (to the east of Kings Hill) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.
Kings Hill is about 5 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. We send applicators to Kings Hill for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Kings Hill is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. London is covered too, around 27 miles from Kings Hill.
We cover the ME19 postcode districts for mastic joints. For a building on Churchill Square, Townsend Square and Ruton Square or nearby, we can quote for mastic joints. Nearby places we also cover include Well Street (1 mile north-east), Red Hill (1 mile south-east), Wateringbury (1 mile south-east), West Malling (2 miles north) and Nettlestead (2 miles south) for mastic joints. Further afield, our area takes in Maidstone (5 miles east), Sittingbourne (15 miles east), Dartford (14 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (9 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (11 miles south-west) and Gravesend (11 miles north).

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Questions we’re asked in Kings Hill
Is a smaller place like Kings Hill outside your area?
Not at all. Kings Hill is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote for a block close to West Malling station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Kings Hill
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Communal area joints that look neglected
If you look after a block within reach of West Malling station, which lies north-east of Kings Hill, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
