Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like New Hythe Business Park, close to Paddlesworth?
Yes, sites like New Hythe Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Paddlesworth. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you take on a block within reach of Snodland station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Mastic sealing in Paddlesworth
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you’re dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and water getting in round frames after rain, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Paddlesworth, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Paddlesworth, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Looking after buildings in and around Paddlesworth
Rainfall across the South East, Paddlesworth included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. At about 25 miles from central London, Paddlesworth is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
For a school such as Snodland CofE Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For agents with blocks near Snodland station, which lies east of Paddlesworth, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. With historic buildings such as Starkey Castle (2.8 miles north-east of Paddlesworth) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Paddlesworth should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Paddlesworth is about 4 miles north of Kings Hill, in Kent. Anywhere in ME6, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 25 miles away.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout ME6. Close to Paddlesworth, our area also takes in Snodland (1 mile east), Birling (1 mile south), Upper Halling (1 mile north), Holborough (1 mile east) and Lunsford (2 miles south-east).

Around Paddlesworth
In Paddlesworth, that means premises near The Holmesdale School and Leybourne Lakes Country Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Snodland station, about 1.4 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Maidstone Hospital (5 miles south-east) and Leybourne Castle (2 miles south). For a walk, there’s Blue Bell Hill and Burham Down.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Why act early in Paddlesworth
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Around Paddlesworth, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Paddlesworth

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

What else we do in Paddlesworth
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
Cost factors for mastic joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Paddlesworth may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
