About our mastic sealing in Staplestreet
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and damp patches beside frames, across communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Staplestreet is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Staplestreet, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a building around Staplestreet, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Common questions from Staplestreet clients
Will you take on work at estates like Waterham Business Park, close to Staplestreet?
Yes. Our area takes in Staplestreet and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Waterham Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Staplestreet off your patch?
No. Places such as Staplestreet are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
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.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Does the weather affect the 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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
When to call us in Staplestreet
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Michael are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Frames, entrances and external joints in Staplestreet
Staplestreet lies roughly 47 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Rainfall across the South East, Staplestreet included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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 own or manage units on a site such as Waterham Business Park, which lies north-east of Staplestreet, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Student blocks close to universities like University of Kent (4.8 miles east of Staplestreet) are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Surface by surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
