How we handle mastic sealing in Shottenden
For blocks and buildings in Shottenden and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Shottenden tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around smaller places like Shottenden, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Converted and older buildings near places like Shottenden tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
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 else we do in Shottenden
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Planned mastic for Shottenden portfolios
Shottenden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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 47 miles from Shottenden. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Buildings close to stations like Selling station, 2 miles north of Shottenden, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Historic properties like Belmont House and Gardens, 3.7 miles to the north-west of Shottenden, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint

FAQs: Shottenden
Is Shottenden too far out for you?
Not at all. Shottenden is within our area. 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.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Shottenden?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Commercial clients in Shottenden
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.
