Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Several jobs near Painters Ash can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
How we handle mastic sealing in Painters Ash
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. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Most enquiries involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, across communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Painters Ash from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Painters Ash often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Log resealing dates block by block
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Why it’s worth doing now in Painters Ash
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Small buildings around Painters Ash suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Painters Ash
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
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.
Surface by surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs: Painters Ash
Can you quote for a block close to Ebbsfleet International station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Painters Ash too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Painters Ash are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
