Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Well Head
For blocks and buildings in Well Head and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and failed external movement joints, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Well Head tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Well Head, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When to call us in Well Head
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Adisham station, 2 miles to the south-west of Well Head, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Well Head, 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.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.

What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Older rural buildings around Well Head move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Questions we are asked in Well Head
Is Well Head off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on a block within reach of Adisham station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
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.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
Mastic sealing around Well Head: what changes locally
Well Head is about 59 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Well Head 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 usually need attention first.
Site managers at schools like Wingham Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Landlords with units on estates such as Wingham Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the north-west of Well Head, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
