Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Shorne Ridgeway
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. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shorne Ridgeway 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 Shorne Ridgeway, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Planned mastic for Shorne Ridgeway portfolios
At about 24 miles from central London, Shorne Ridgeway is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Shorne Ridgeway included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Student accommodation around universities such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester (4 miles south-east of Shorne Ridgeway) is normally managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. If you look after a block within reach of Higham station (2 miles north-east of Shorne Ridgeway), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Shorne Ridgeway is about 3 miles south-east of Gravesend, in Kent. Across the DA12 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Shorne Ridgeway
UV and rain age external sealant. 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:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- No planned programme for sealant
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shorne Ridgeway
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Halls, stores and units around places like Shorne Ridgeway may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Questions about Shorne Ridgeway
Is Shorne Ridgeway too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Nuralite Industrial Estate, near Shorne Ridgeway, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Shorne Ridgeway, Nuralite Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
