About our mastic sealing in Manston
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Manston, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around smaller places like Manston, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. For buildings around smaller places like Manston, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Looking after buildings in and around Manston
Manston lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Manston lies roughly 64 miles out from central London. 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.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St. Catherine's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Thanet Parkway station (to the south of Manston) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. For a school such as Newington Community Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Manston is about 2 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Across the CT12 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 931 places in Kent. Our London page has more on work in that area (64 miles or so).

Surface by surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
