Questions we’re asked in Norton Ash
Does a coastal location like Norton Ash affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is a smaller place like Norton Ash outside your area?
Not at all. Norton Ash is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Mastic sealing in Norton Ash, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Norton Ash from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For buildings around smaller places like Norton Ash, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Blocks and managed buildings in Norton Ash
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Norton Ash. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Schools and community buildings such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. For agents with blocks near Teynham station, which lies north-west of Norton Ash, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Older buildings near Norton Ash, from historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, 3.6 miles to the south of Norton Ash, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Why act early in Norton Ash
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Around Norton Ash, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
