General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic sealing in Snodland
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: 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. Site teams most often ask us about brittle perimeter mastic across a building and damp patches beside frames, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Snodland, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Snodland often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Snodland
Central London is about 26 miles from Snodland. 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. Snodland sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of the New Jerusalem, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Landlords with units on estates such as New Hythe Business Park (to the south-east of Snodland) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Snodland CofE Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Snodland is about 4 miles south-west of Chatham, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Snodland, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Snodland. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 26 miles away.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout ME6 and ME19, whatever the building. Streets here include Hammonds Square, High Street and Bingley Close. Snodland sits on or close to the A228, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job.

A short drive away, we cover Maidstone (6 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles east), Dartford (12 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (11 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (15 miles south-west) and Gravesend (7 miles north).

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Work in places the size of Snodland is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
FAQs: Snodland
Can you quote for a block close to Snodland station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Snodland too far out for you?
Not at all. Snodland is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. In a smaller place such as Snodland, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
