Mastic sealing in Moor Street, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Whoever orders the work in Moor Street, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Moor Street 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.
Work we carry out in Medway comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Halls, stores and units around places like Moor Street may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If others near Moor Street need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Blocks and managed buildings in Moor Street
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Moor Street. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Rainfall across the South East, Moor Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Newington Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the south-east of Moor Street, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Margaret are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Site managers at schools like Leigh Academy Rainham can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

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, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
