Questions we’re asked in Longfield Hill
Will you take on a block within reach of Meopham station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is Longfield Hill off your patch?
Not at all. Longfield Hill is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Mastic sealing in Longfield Hill
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old repairs sealed over failed mastic and water getting in round frames after rain. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Longfield Hill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Longfield Hill 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Why act early in Longfield Hill
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Converted and older buildings near places like Longfield Hill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. 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.

Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Block-wide mastic in Longfield Hill
Longfield Hill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Longfield Hill is about 20 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mildred are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Site managers at schools like Istead Rise Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
