How we handle mastic sealing in Nash
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. The enquiries we see most involve no planned programme for sealant and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Nash first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Nash tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Nash: questions and answers
Will you take on a block within reach of Adisham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Nash outside your area?
No. Places such as Nash are covered as much as the big towns. 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 long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: 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.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Nash need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send your site hours and access windows

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Quoting for work in Nash
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Older rural buildings around Nash move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Mastic sealing around Nash: points for this area
Nash is about 60 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Nash 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 normally need attention first.
If you look after a block within reach of Adisham station, 3.7 miles south-west of Nash, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Landlords with units on estates such as Wingham Industrial Estate (1.7 miles south-west of Nash) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Nash is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. We send applicators to Nash for mastic joints. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Nash among them. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 60 miles from Nash.

What we’re called out for in Nash
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
With historic buildings such as Goodnestone Park, 3 miles to the south of Nash, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Nash should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
