About our mastic sealing in Old Romney
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Old Romney, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around smaller places like Old Romney, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photos of the problem areas
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Your questions answered
Is Old Romney too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for a block close to Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Old Romney
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Old Romney can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Planned mastic for Old Romney portfolios
Old Romney lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Schools and community buildings such as The Marsh Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you own or manage units on a site such as Peak Industrial Park, which lies south-east of Old Romney, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Old Romney
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- No planned programme for sealant
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Older community buildings, Church of St Clement among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. If others near Old Romney need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
