Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Oare
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Oare is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Oare tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Oare: questions and answers
Does a coastal location like Oare affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Faversham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
For owners and agents in Oare
Oare lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. At about 44 miles from central London, Oare is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
If you look after a block within reach of Faversham station, 1.4 miles to the south-east of Oare, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Peter are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Historic properties like Belmont House and Gardens (4.3 miles south of Oare) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Oare is about 1 mile north of Faversham, in Kent. Any commercial site in Oare is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Oare is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. London is covered too, some 44 miles away.

Nearby places we also cover include Davington (1 mile south), The Brents (1 mile south-east), Uplees (1 mile north-west), Faversham (1 mile south) and Four Oaks (1 mile south-west) for mastic joints. Further afield, our area takes in Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (9 miles east), Sittingbourne (6 miles west), Whitstable (7 miles east), Herne Bay (11 miles east) and Minster (7 miles north-west).

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. For a building around Oare, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.

Other services in Oare
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Around Oare, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
