FAQs: Tankerton
Is Tankerton too far out for you?
Not at all. Tankerton is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work in a care home near Tankerton with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
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 work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Mastic sealing in Tankerton, done properly
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 and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Site teams most often ask us about communal area joints that look neglected and open joints in brickwork or panels, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. For commercial sealant work in Tankerton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Tankerton mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Tankerton
With the shore within about 1 mile, Tankerton counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Tankerton 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.
Student blocks close to universities like University of Kent (4.8 miles south of Tankerton) are easiest to work on between tenancies. If you look after a block within reach of Whitstable station, 0.7 miles south-west of Tankerton, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Tankerton is about 1 mile north-east of Whitstable, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Tankerton, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, Tankerton among them. London is covered too, some 50 miles away.

We also cover Swalecliffe (1 mile east), Chestfield (1 mile south-east), Whitstable (1 mile south-west), Radfall (2 miles south-east) and West End (2 miles south-east) for mastic joints. Further afield, our area takes in Canterbury (6 miles south), Margate (15 miles east), Sittingbourne (14 miles west), Faversham (8 miles south-west), Herne Bay (4 miles east) and Minster (11 miles west).
Local landmarks in Tankerton
We work on buildings around The Whitstable School and Monument Public House, among other places. The nearest railway station is Whitstable station, roughly 0.7 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (less than half a mile south-east) and Tankerton Castle (0.5 miles west). Open spaces near Tankerton include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. For buildings in places like Tankerton, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

- Public liability insurance in place

Signs you need mastic sealing in Tankerton
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Landlords with units on estates such as John Wilson Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Tankerton) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Tankerton need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
