How we handle mastic sealing in Matfield
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about no planned programme for sealant and window mastic that has split and shrunk, across external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Matfield it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Matfield 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

FAQs: Matfield
Is Eldon Way Industrial Estate, near Matfield, within your area?
Yes. We cover Matfield and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Eldon Way Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
We manage a building near Paddock Wood station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
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.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Mastic sealing in Matfield: the local picture
Matfield lies roughly 31 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. 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 usually where frame mastic ages first.
Historic properties like Scotney Castle (4.5 miles south of Matfield) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Ebenezer Church (Matfield) are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Matfield is about 5 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Any commercial site in Matfield is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Matfield is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for mastic joints. London is covered too, some 31 miles away.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Glazing that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Do you need mastic sealing in Matfield?
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Look out for the following:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
If you own or manage units on a site such as Eldon Way Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles to the north of Matfield, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
