FAQs: Tovil
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Maidstone West station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Tovil too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Tovil is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

Mastic sealing around Tovil: what changes locally
Tovil lies roughly 31 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Tovil sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
Buildings close to stations like Maidstone West station, 0.5 miles north-east of Tovil, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Older community buildings, St Michael and All Angels Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Tovil is about 1 mile west of Maidstone, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Tovil for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Tovil. There’s a separate page for London, about 31 miles away.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Why act early in Tovil
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Small buildings around Tovil suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Tovil need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
Ask for a quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Common problems we fix in Tovil
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Look out for the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Failed external movement joints
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
