Mastic sealing in Lynsted
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
When to call us in Lynsted
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Draughts at frames across a block
Property owners at sites such as Kent Science Park, 2.7 miles west of Lynsted, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

About our mastic sealing in Lynsted
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Lynsted carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve communal area joints that look neglected and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Lynsted, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Lynsted, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

FAQs: Lynsted
Is a smaller place like Lynsted outside your area?
No. Places such as Lynsted are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Teynham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
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.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
What affects the price in Lynsted
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Blocks and managed buildings in Lynsted
Lynsted is about 40 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Lynsted sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For a school such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older community buildings, Church of St Peter and St Paul among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
