How we handle mastic sealing in Lewson Street
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Lewson Street, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Lewson Street often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Do you need mastic sealing in Lewson Street?
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
For agents with blocks near Teynham station, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Lewson Street, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

Planned mastic for Lewson Street portfolios
Lewson Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Site managers at schools like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Lewson Street change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
We manage a building near Teynham station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Is Lewson Street in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Lewson Street, with one number for every area we cover.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Lewson Street, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
