About our mastic sealing in New Romney
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. If you’re dealing with the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and water getting in round frames after rain, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in New Romney tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Converted and older buildings in and around New Romney often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in New Romney as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What we are called out for in New Romney
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Look out for the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
If you own or manage units on a site such as Peak Industrial Park, which lies south-west of New Romney, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
What to look for in a quote
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a site in New Romney, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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.
- 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 as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product

FAQs: New Romney
Can you work in a care home near New Romney with residents in?

What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Frames, entrances and external joints in New Romney
With the shore within about 2 miles, New Romney counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. The 2 miles around New Romney include three care or nursing homes. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Nicholas, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. If your remit includes a building such as St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
