Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Mastic sealing in Lidsing
For blocks and buildings in Lidsing and across Kent, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and no planned programme for sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Lidsing? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Lidsing tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Lidsing
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lidsing, such as Lordswood Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Lidsing and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lordswood Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
How long do sealant joints 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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Mastic sealing around Lidsing: points for this area
Lidsing is about 31 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Lidsing is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Landlords with units on estates such as Lordswood Industrial Estate (to the west of Lidsing) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Site managers at schools like Swingate Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Student accommodation around universities such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester (to the north-west of Lidsing) is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.
Lidsing is about 2 miles south-east of Chatham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME7, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. We also cover London, around 31 miles from Lidsing.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
One failed perimeter usually 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.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Older rural buildings around Lidsing move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
