How we handle mastic sealing in The Brents
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. 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 estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and movement joints with sealant missing, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in The Brents, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as The Brents, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The Brents: questions and answers
Is The Brents too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as The Brents are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Faversham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
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.
Why us?
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- CHAS accredited

Quoting for work in The Brents
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you need mastic sealing in The Brents?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Buildings close to stations like Faversham station, 0.6 miles to the south of The Brents, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Mastic sealing around The Brents: what changes locally
The Brents is within about 3 miles of the coast. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. The Brents is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Faversham Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as Davington Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
The Brents is about 1 mile north-east of Faversham, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in The Brents can call on us for mastic joints. The Brents is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for mastic joints. Sites around London have their own page, about 44 miles away.
