From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Rural sites near Mystole may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Mystole
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Mystole tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Mystole, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Mastic sealing around Mystole: what changes locally
Central London is about 50 miles from Mystole. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Mystole sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Schools and community buildings such as Chartham Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. For owners of several units at places like Stour Valley Business Park, 1.5 miles north-east of Mystole, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Mystole is about 4 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT4, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Mystole is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for mastic joints. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 50 miles from Mystole.
Business premises anywhere in CT4 are within our area for mastic joints. If your site is on Thruxted Lane and Mystole Lane or close by, we can quote for mastic joints. Just outside Mystole, we also work in Shalmsford Street (1 mile east), Chartham (1 mile north-east), Garlinge Green (1 mile south-east), Chartham Hatch (2 miles north) and Petham (2 miles south-east). Further afield, our area takes in Ashford (9 miles south-west), Canterbury (4 miles north-east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-east) and Whitstable (7 miles north).

Signs you need mastic sealing in Mystole
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Look out for the following:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
If you look after a block within reach of Chartham station, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Mystole, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.

Questions we are asked in Mystole
Is a smaller place like Mystole outside your area?
No. Places such as Mystole are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on a block within reach of Chartham station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. For buildings around smaller places like Mystole, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
