About our mastic sealing in Newchurch
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you’re dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Newchurch, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Newchurch, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Newchurch: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Newchurch, such as Meadow View Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Newchurch, Meadow View Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Ham Street station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Mastic sealing around Newchurch: points for this area
Central London is about 54 miles from Newchurch. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Newchurch included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Meadow View Business Park (2.7 miles north-west of Newchurch), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If you look after a block within reach of Ham Street station, 3.6 miles to the north-west of Newchurch, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Older community buildings, Church of St Peter and St Paul among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Newchurch is about 7 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. Across the TN29 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Newchurch is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Brighton is covered too, around 48 miles from Newchurch.
Anyone looking for mastic sealing in TN29 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Streets here include Links Close, Church View and Patchways.

Around Newchurch
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Black Bull Public House. The closest station to Newchurch is Ham Street station, roughly 3.6 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Romney 'castle' (3.8 miles south) and Brenzett Aeronautical Museum (3.8 miles south-west). Not far away are Orlestone Forest.
Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Around Newchurch, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Advice
General trades versus a 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
