Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Slutshole, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site

Advice
Mastic sealing in Slutshole
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. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Slutshole? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For buildings around smaller places like Slutshole, 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: 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.

For owners and agents in Slutshole
Slutshole is within about 3 miles of the coast. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. At about 47 miles from central London, Slutshole is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
For owners of several units at places like Waterham Business Park, 1.7 miles north-east of Slutshole, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Selling station, 2.1 miles south of Slutshole, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Slutshole is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Slutshole sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 47 miles away.

Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Questions about Slutshole
Does the sea air around Slutshole change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Selling station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work in Slutshole?
Yes. We cover Slutshole and the rest of Kent. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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 work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Slutshole
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. For buildings around smaller places like Slutshole, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

What affects the price in Slutshole
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:

What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Do you need mastic sealing in Slutshole?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
For a school such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What to look for in a quote

- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
