From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Lenham Heath need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Move anything stored against the joints

FAQs: Lenham Heath
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Lenham Heath?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Will you take on a block within reach of Lenham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Do you need mastic sealing in Lenham Heath?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
For a school such as The Lenham School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
