Quoting for work in New Pound
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

FAQs: New Pound
Is a smaller place like New Pound outside your area?
No. Places such as New Pound 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.
Can you quote for a block close to Wateringbury station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Rural sites near New Pound 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 we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Ask for a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Advice
Common problems we fix in New Pound
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Buildings close to stations like Wateringbury station, 2.8 miles to the south-east of New Pound, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their public liability cover
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Planned mastic for New Pound portfolios
New Pound is about 25 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Older community buildings, St Lawrence's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For owners of several units at places like The Alders Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south-east of New Pound, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
New Pound is about 6 miles north-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. We cover New Pound and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, New Pound among them. We also cover London, around 25 miles from New Pound.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
