Need mastic sealing in Lydd?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Lydd need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Mastic sealing in Lydd
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is open joints in brickwork or panels and no planned programme for sealant. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Lydd? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In a smaller place such as Lydd, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Lydd can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Why act early in Lydd
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
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.
What you get with us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Specification-led, product-correct work

Signs you need mastic sealing in Lydd
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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For owners of several units at places like Peak Industrial Park, which lies north-east of Lydd, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

FAQs: Lydd
Is Lydd too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Lydd is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Our building in Lydd is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
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. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Lydd
Lydd sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Central London is about 58 miles from Lydd. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as All Saints Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Schools and community buildings such as Lydd Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
