General trades versus a specialist
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
About our mastic sealing in Tyler Hill
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you are dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Tyler Hill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Tyler Hill, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Tyler Hill
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Complaints coming in block by block
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
For a school such as Blean Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The named product and why it was chosen
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints

Planned mastic for Tyler Hill portfolios
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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. The 2 miles around Tyler Hill include two care or nursing homes. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
Property owners at sites such as Maybrook Retail Park, 1.8 miles to the south-east of Tyler Hill, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Canterbury West station (1.6 miles south of Tyler Hill) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Tyler Hill is about 2 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Tyler Hill, we can help, as we do across Kent. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Tyler Hill. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 52 miles from Tyler Hill.

What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tyler Hill. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
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.
What you get with us
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
