About our mastic sealing in Lower Bush
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. Most enquiries involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Lower Bush? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Lower Bush, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.

Block-wide mastic in Lower Bush
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. At about 24 miles from central London, Lower Bush is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Michael and All Angels can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Landlords with units on estates such as Strood Retail Park, 2.7 miles north-east of Lower Bush, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Questions we are asked in Lower Bush
Does your area include sites such as Strood Retail Park, near Lower Bush?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lower Bush, Strood Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Lower Bush off your patch?
No. Places such as Lower Bush are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Lower Bush
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Site managers at schools like Cuxton Community Infant School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Group repairs into a planned programme
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints

How the quote is worked out

- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
