Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How we handle mastic sealing in Newingreen
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Site teams most often ask us about worn sealant at communal door frames and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Newingreen, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For buildings around smaller places like Newingreen, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

FAQs: Newingreen
Can being near the sea in Newingreen affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you work in a care home near Newingreen with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Leave it or put it right?
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Newingreen, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Blocks and managed buildings in Newingreen
Newingreen sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Newingreen sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Pedlinge Chapel are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Buildings close to stations like Westenhanger station, 0.6 miles north of Newingreen, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Schools and community buildings such as Lympne Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
