How we handle mastic sealing in Ringwould
For blocks and buildings in Ringwould and across Kent, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. The enquiries we see most involve complaints coming in block by block and water getting in round frames after rain, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ringwould from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Ringwould, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Ringwould. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
Common questions from Ringwould clients
Does the sea air around Ringwould change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Ringwould too far out for you?
No. Places such as Ringwould are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Communal kitchens and washrooms

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Rural sites near Ringwould may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm 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.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Block-wide mastic in Ringwould
Ringwould is within about 2 miles of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Central London is about 67 miles from Ringwould. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Nicholas, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
