Need mastic sealing in Tickham?
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
How we handle mastic sealing in Tickham
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you have the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Tickham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Tickham often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Block-wide mastic in Tickham
Central London is about 41 miles from Tickham. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Tickham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you look after a block within reach of Teynham station (1.4 miles north of Tickham), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Historic properties like Belmont House and Gardens (3.2 miles south-east of Tickham) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Site managers at schools like Lynsted and Norton Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

FAQs: Tickham
Is a smaller place like Tickham outside your area?
No. Places such as Tickham are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on a block within reach of Teynham station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does weather matter for sealant 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 plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Tickham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Tickham, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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 sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Tickham can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
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.
