Mastic sealing for businesses in New Hythe
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in New Hythe
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and failed external movement joints. Most enquiries from New Hythe start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For owners with a single building near New Hythe, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Frames, entrances and external joints in New Hythe
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. At about 27 miles from central London, New Hythe is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
If you look after a block within reach of New Hythe station (less than half a mile north-east of New Hythe), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
New Hythe is about 4 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Any commercial site in New Hythe is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 27 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in ME20 are within our area for mastic joints. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Sherwood Avenue, Ingram Close and Abery Drive and the roads nearby. Sites close to New Hythe are covered too, including Lunsford (1 mile west), Larkfield (1 mile south-west), Leybourne (1 mile south-west), Eccles (1 mile north-east) and Snodland (1 mile north-west). A short drive away, we cover Maidstone (4 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (12 miles east), Dartford (13 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (12 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south-west) and Gravesend (9 miles north).
Landmarks near New Hythe
We work on buildings around Aylesford School, The Monks Head pub and Leybourne Lakes Country Park. There’s a railway station in New Hythe itself: New Hythe station. A little further out are Maidstone Hospital (2.8 miles south-east) and Medway megaliths (2.1 miles east). The countryside around New Hythe includes Blue Bell Hill and Burham Down.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Halls, stores and units around places like New Hythe may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near New Hythe may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
What we are called out for in New Hythe
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Complaints coming in block by block
For owners of several units at places like New Hythe Business Park, less than half a mile to the east of New Hythe, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions answered
Is New Hythe off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
We manage a building near New Hythe station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
