How we handle mastic sealing in Southborough
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you have estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and draughts at frames across a block, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Southborough it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Southborough, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll quote for all of them together.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common questions from Southborough clients
Will you take on work at estates like Stag Trade Park, close to Southborough?
Yes. We cover Southborough and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Stag Trade Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote for a block close to High Brooms station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you need mastic sealing in Southborough?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
If you manage student housing near a university such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, which lies south-west of Southborough, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Quoting for work in Southborough
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for

Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and spreads the work.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Planned mastic for Southborough portfolios
Southborough is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Southborough has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Trustees of buildings like Christ Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If your remit includes a building such as Southborough CofE Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
