Mastic sealing in Martin
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, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Searching for sealant specialists in Martin? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Martin tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Martin
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Martin can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Martin
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Failed external movement joints
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Historic properties like Walmer Castle (3 miles north-east of Martin) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

Questions we are asked in Martin
Will you take on a block within reach of Martin Mill station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Does a coastal location like Martin affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Smaller jobs around Martin can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Mastic sealing in Martin: the local picture
With the shore within about 3 miles, Martin counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
For agents with blocks near Martin Mill station, less than half a mile south-east of Martin, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Site managers at schools like Langdon Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
