Mastic sealing for Staplehurst sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Staplehurst
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, 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, with public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and worn sealant at communal door frames, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. Searching for sealant specialists in Staplehurst? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In a smaller place such as Staplehurst, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common questions from Staplehurst clients
Can you work at a site such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, by Staplehurst?
Yes. Our area takes in Staplehurst and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
We manage a building near Staplehurst station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
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.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
When to call us in Staplehurst
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants

Cost factors for mastic joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Looking after buildings in and around Staplehurst
Central London is about 36 miles from Staplehurst. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Staplehurst is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
For owners of several units at places like Barradale Farm Industrial Estate (2.8 miles east of Staplehurst), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Trustees of buildings like All Saints Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
