When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints

About our mastic sealing in Red Hill
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed external movement joints and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Most enquiries from Red Hill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around smaller places like Red Hill, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Blocks and managed buildings in Red Hill
Rainfall across the South East, Red Hill 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 usually need attention first. Red Hill is about 28 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
For agents with blocks near Wateringbury station (0.8 miles south-west of Red Hill), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Landlords with units on estates such as Mereworth Business Centre, 1.5 miles to the west of Red Hill, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Red Hill is about 4 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. Red Hill sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Red Hill. We also cover London, some 28 miles away.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Common questions from Red Hill clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Wateringbury station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does your area include sites such as Mereworth Business Centre, near Red Hill?
Yes. We cover Red Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Mereworth Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Jobs in and around smaller places like Red Hill are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
When to call us in Red Hill
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
For a school such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
