Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Patrixbourne
For blocks and buildings in Patrixbourne and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and draught complaints from residents or tenants. For commercial sealant work in Patrixbourne, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Patrixbourne often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Patrixbourne are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Leave it or put it right?
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Patrixbourne, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

Patrixbourne: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Canterbury Business Park, near Patrixbourne?
Yes. Our area takes in Patrixbourne and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Canterbury Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Patrixbourne?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
