How we handle mastic sealing in Satmar
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Site teams most often ask us about old repairs sealed over failed mastic and worn sealant at communal door frames, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Satmar first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around smaller places like Satmar, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Satmar

What we’re called out for in Satmar
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you manage student housing near a university such as University Centre Folkestone (2.6 miles south-west of Satmar), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Satmar, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Related advice
Satmar: questions and answers
Our building in Satmar is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you work at a site such as Highfield Industrial Estate, by Satmar?
Yes. We cover Satmar and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Highfield Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you cover Satmar?
Yes. We take on work across Satmar, and the same phone number covers every area.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Mastic sealing around Satmar: how the place shapes the job
Satmar is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. At about 63 miles from central London, Satmar is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
If your remit includes a building such as Capel-le-Ferne Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you are responsible for a building such as St Mary's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
