Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Common questions from Richborough Port clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Thanet Parkway station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is a smaller place like Richborough Port outside your area?
Not at all. Richborough Port is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long do sealant joints 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.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Common problems we fix in Richborough Port
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damp patches beside frames
- No planned programme for sealant
For a school such as Sir Roger Manwood's School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Proof of insurance
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
