Looking after buildings in and around Lashenden
Central London is about 40 miles from Lashenden. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Around Lashenden, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go. If you look after a block within reach of Headcorn station (1.8 miles north of Lashenden), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Mastic sealing in Lashenden
For blocks and buildings in Lashenden and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. The enquiries we see most involve no planned programme for sealant and draughts at frames across a block, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Searching for sealant specialists in Lashenden? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places like Lashenden, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.

Quoting for work in Lashenden
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email us with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.

FAQs: Lashenden
Is Lashenden too far out for you?
No. Places such as Lashenden are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Lashenden?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
