On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building around Wickhambreaux, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site

Related advice
Mastic sealing in Wickhambreaux
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and failed external movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Wickhambreaux, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Wickhambreaux, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wickhambreaux
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Wickhambreaux may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- CHAS accredited
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

What affects the price in Wickhambreaux
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Questions about Wickhambreaux
Will you take on a block within reach of Bekesbourne station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Wickhambreaux outside your area?
No. Places such as Wickhambreaux are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Mastic sealing in Wickhambreaux: the local picture
Wickhambreaux is about 57 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Wickhambreaux included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
For agents with blocks near Bekesbourne station (2.6 miles south-west of Wickhambreaux), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Site managers at schools like Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

What we are called out for in Wickhambreaux
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Look out for the following:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For owners of several units at places like Wingham Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Wickhambreaux, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Comparing quotes

- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
