About our mastic sealing in Mockbeggar
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 and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Most enquiries involve open joints in brickwork or panels and draughts at frames across a block, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Mockbeggar, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For owners with a single building near Mockbeggar, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Medway. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings

Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan, building by building.
What affects the price in Mockbeggar
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Signs you need mastic sealing in Mockbeggar
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Higham station, 1.2 miles west of Mockbeggar, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Common questions from Mockbeggar clients
Does a coastal location like Mockbeggar affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Mockbeggar too far out for you?
Not at all. Mockbeggar is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing 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.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
