When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Substrate edges that need repairing first

About our mastic sealing in Orlestone
For blocks and buildings in Orlestone and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Site teams most often ask us about repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, across communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Orlestone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For buildings around smaller places like Orlestone, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Orlestone as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Planned mastic for Orlestone portfolios
Orlestone lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. 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.
For owners of several units at places like Meadow View Business Park, 1.5 miles to the south-east of Orlestone, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Site managers at schools like Hamstreet Primary Academy can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Orlestone is about 4 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. We send applicators to Orlestone for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Orlestone among them. Brighton is covered too, some 46 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: TN26. Nearby places we also cover include Hamstreet (1 mile south-east), Bromley Green (1 mile north), Kenardington (2 miles south-west), Ruckinge (2 miles south-east) and Stone Cross (2 miles north-east) for mastic joints. Bigger towns within reach include Ashford (4 miles north), Folkestone (14 miles east), Hythe (10 miles east), Hawkinge (14 miles east), Tenterden (7 miles west) and Cheriton (13 miles east).
Around Orlestone
We work on buildings around The Dukes Head pub. The nearest railway station is Ham Street station, about 0.7 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Woodchurch Village Life Museum (3.6 miles west) and William Harvey Hospital (5.3 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Orlestone Forest.
When to call us in Orlestone
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- No planned programme for sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Buildings close to stations like Ham Street station, 0.7 miles south-east of Orlestone, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What your quote should include
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What site paperwork they can supply
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. Converted and older buildings near places like Orlestone tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Questions we are asked in Orlestone
Will you take on a block within reach of Ham Street station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Orlestone too far out for you?
Not at all. Orlestone is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
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’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
