Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Oversland
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Oversland start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Oversland, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Oversland: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as CMA Industrial Park, near Oversland?
Yes, sites like CMA Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Oversland. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Oversland too far out for you?
No. Places such as Oversland are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Oversland, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- 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 where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Oversland can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Planned mastic for Oversland portfolios
Central London is about 48 miles from Oversland. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Oversland is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Student blocks close to universities like University of Kent (4.8 miles east of Oversland) are easiest to work on between tenancies. For owners of several units at places like CMA Industrial Park, which lies east of Oversland, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. For a school such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
