About our mastic sealing in Shepway
Across Shepway and the rest of Kent, we work the same way: 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. If you have movement joints with sealant missing and water getting in round frames after rain, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Shepway tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Shepway mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Looking after buildings in and around Shepway
Shepway sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 32 miles from Shepway. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
If your remit includes a building such as Greenfields Community Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you manage student housing near a university such as University for the Creative Arts, 2.4 miles to the north-west of Shepway, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. Older community buildings, St Martin's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

How the job changes by surface
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.

Questions about Shepway
Will you work in a care home in Shepway without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Shepway, such as Park Wood Trading Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Shepway, Park Wood Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
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.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. In a smaller place such as Shepway, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a site in Shepway, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Ask for a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Log resealing dates block by block
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.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
