- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint

Mastic sealing in Little Chart, done properly
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is brittle perimeter mastic across a building and open joints in brickwork or panels. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Little Chart tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Little Chart often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. For buildings around smaller places like Little Chart, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Public liability insurance in place
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Questions we’re asked in Little Chart
We manage a building near Charing station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is a smaller place like Little Chart outside your area?
No. Places such as Little Chart are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

What else we do in Little Chart
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Looking after buildings in and around Little Chart
Little Chart sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Little Chart is about 44 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Historic properties like Godinton House, 2.6 miles to the south-east of Little Chart, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Trustees of buildings like St Mary can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Charing station, 2.1 miles to the north of Little Chart, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
