Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Paglesham
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Paglesham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Paglesham 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 we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Work for main contractors and building owners
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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
For owners and agents in Paglesham
Paglesham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Paglesham is about 39 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Older community buildings, St Peters Mission Hall among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Property owners at sites such as Springfield Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles north of Paglesham, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

FAQs: Paglesham
Is Paglesham too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Springfield Industrial Estate, near Paglesham?
Yes, sites like Springfield Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Paglesham. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Paglesham 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.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Do you need mastic sealing in Paglesham?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Water getting in round frames after rain
With historic buildings such as Southchurch Hall (to the south-west of Paglesham) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Paglesham should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
What to look for in a quote
