About our mastic sealing in Thanington
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. For commercial sealant work in Thanington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In a smaller place such as Thanington, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions about Thanington
Can you work in a care home near Thanington with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Will you take on a block within reach of Canterbury East station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. 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.
What affects the price in Thanington
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.

What else we do in Thanington
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Several jobs near Thanington can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Small buildings around Thanington suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Mastic sealing in Thanington: the local picture
Thanington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 52 miles from central London, Thanington is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Nicholas, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For a school such as The Canterbury Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you manage student housing near a university such as University of the Creative Arts, 1.4 miles east of Thanington, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
