Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle mastic sealing in Sholden
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you have a mix of products and colours from past repairs and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Sholden? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Sholden, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Questions we are asked in Sholden
Can being near the sea in Sholden affect the sealant we need?
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.
Will you take on a block within reach of Deal station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Sholden may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
