Do you need mastic sealing in Pollhill?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Schools and community buildings such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Mastic sealing in Pollhill
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you have draughts at frames across a block and failed external movement joints, we can help, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Pollhill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Pollhill, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.

Questions about Pollhill
Is Roebuck Business Park, near Pollhill, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Pollhill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Roebuck Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Pollhill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Pollhill is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Commercial clients in Pollhill
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Pollhill can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
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. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
