Blocks and managed buildings in Lunsford
Lunsford lies roughly 26 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Lunsford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Owners of student blocks near University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, 3.7 miles to the south-east of Lunsford, can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation. Older community buildings, Church of the Holy Trinity among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Lunsford is about 5 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Any commercial site in Lunsford is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Lunsford is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. We also cover London, around 26 miles from Lunsford.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Lunsford can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Work in places the size of Lunsford is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Related advice
Signs you need mastic sealing in Lunsford
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Site managers at schools like Lunsford Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
