How we handle mastic sealing in Strood
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Strood from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Towns the size of Strood have a mix of blocks, flats over shops and small commercial buildings looked after by agents and landlords. Window and door perimeters, external joints and communal areas all need their mastic renewed from time to time.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
What we’re called out for in Strood
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Landlords with units on estates such as Gun Lane Business Centre, 0.7 miles to the north-east of Strood, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Comparing quotes
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
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.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Strood
Central London is about 26 miles from Strood. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Schools and community buildings such as Elaine Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Francis' Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Questions we are asked in Strood
Can you quote for a block close to Strood station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Strood?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
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.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Most work in Strood is one building at a time: a school, a unit, an office or a block. Your photographs, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
