Mastic sealing in Murston
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is draughts at frames across a block and communal area joints that look neglected. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Murston it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a smaller place such as Murston, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Doing it in-house
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

The work itself typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Murston
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Failed external movement joints
- No planned programme for sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Site managers at schools like Sunny Bank Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Murston
With the shore within about 2 miles, Murston counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
For agents with blocks near Sittingbourne station, 0.7 miles to the west of Murston, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. For owners of several units at places like Kent Science Park, which lies south-west of Murston, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically 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.

Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
