Mastic sealing in Styants Bottom, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and damp patches beside frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Styants Bottom, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Styants Bottom, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Do you need mastic sealing in Styants Bottom?
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- No planned programme for sealant
- Draughts at frames across a block
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Lawrence are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How joint depth will be controlled
Questions about Styants Bottom
Can you work at a site such as Chaucer Business Park, by Styants Bottom?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Styants Bottom, Chaucer Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you take on a block within reach of Kemsing station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically 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.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
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 will tell you how we’d approach it.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
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.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If others near Styants Bottom need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.

Getting the site ready

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
