Quoting for work in Millbank
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Our quote form is another easy route.
Mastic sealing in Millbank
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. Site teams most often ask us about movement joints with sealant missing and no planned programme for sealant, across shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Millbank, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Millbank, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Your questions answered
Will you work in a care home in Millbank without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Herne Bay station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
What we’re called out for in Millbank
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Trustees of buildings like Church of the Holy Cross can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents

Advice
Frames, entrances and external joints in Millbank
Millbank sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. Millbank lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Buildings close to stations like Herne Bay station, 2.4 miles to the north-west of Millbank, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you own or manage units on a site such as Chislet Business Park, 1.6 miles south of Millbank, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Millbank is about 2 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We send applicators to Millbank for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Millbank is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. We also cover London, some 55 miles away.
