Mastic sealing in Lympne
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. 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, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is occupiers reporting cold air round windows and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lympne from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Lympne 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Lympne can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
For owners and agents in Lympne
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Lympne. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. At about 57 miles from central London, Lympne is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Historic properties like Westenhanger Castle, 1.3 miles north of Lympne, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Older community buildings, Church of St Stephen among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For a school such as Lympne Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Lympne affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Lympne too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Lympne is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
