Mastic sealing across Sheerness
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Sheerness
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. Most enquiries involve open joints in brickwork or panels and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Sheerness is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Sheerness often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Sheerness
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sheerness can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent and easier to manage.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why us?
- Clear, fixed quotes
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colour agreed before work starts
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Frames, entrances and external joints in Sheerness
Sheerness lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Rainfall across the South East, Sheerness included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Site managers at schools like Rose Street Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Parish Church of the Holy Trinity are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Buildings close to stations like Sheerness-On-Sea station (to the north-west of Sheerness) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Sheerness is about 7 miles north of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Commercial clients in Sheerness can call on us for mastic joints. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Sheerness. London is covered too, some 37 miles away.

Questions about Sheerness
Is Sheerness too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the sea air around Sheerness change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
