FAQs: Perrywood
Will you price a mastic programme across our Perrywood portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Perrywood too far out for you?
No. Places such as Perrywood are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How we handle mastic sealing in Perrywood
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old repairs sealed over failed mastic and leaks at window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Perrywood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Perrywood, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Mastic sealing around Perrywood: what changes locally
Central London is about 47 miles from Perrywood. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Perrywood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you look after a block within reach of Selling station, which lies north-east of Perrywood, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Older buildings near Perrywood, from historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, 3.4 miles west of Perrywood, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Perrywood is about 4 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME13, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Perrywood is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Our London page has more on work in that area.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Perrywood are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Quotes

Related advice
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Perrywood can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Perrywood. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
