What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan, building by building.
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Harbledown
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. For buildings around smaller places like Upper Harbledown, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Failed material removed, not covered up

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Questions about Upper Harbledown
Can you quote for a block close to Canterbury West station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Upper Harbledown too far out for you?
No. Places such as Upper Harbledown are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Related advice
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
