Need mastic sealing in Wigmore?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Mastic sealing in Wigmore
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Wigmore it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Wigmore mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Questions about Wigmore
Our building in Wigmore is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
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 communal access is kept open.
Common problems we fix in Wigmore
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For agents with blocks near Rainham (Kent) station (1 mile north-east of Wigmore), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Share your contractor requirements early
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next.

- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.

Advice
Frames, entrances and external joints in Wigmore
Wigmore is within about 3 miles of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Wigmore is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Schools and community buildings such as Park Wood Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Landlords with units on estates such as Parkwood Shopping Centre (to the south of Wigmore) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Wigmore is about 1 mile south-east of Gillingham, in Medway. Our applicators travel to Wigmore for work on mastic joints. We work across 54 places in Medway. For work in that direction, see our London page (31 miles or so).
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout ME8, whatever the building. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Durham Road, Harvey Road and Arthur Road. Just outside Wigmore, we also work in Park Wood (1 mile south), Hempstead (1 mile west), Twydall (1 mile north), Gillingham (1 mile north-west) and Capstone (2 miles west). Bigger towns within reach include Chatham (3 miles west), Rochester (5 miles north-west), Strood (6 miles north-west), Luton (3 miles west), Lordswood (3 miles south-west) and Hoo St Werburgh (5 miles north).
What’s near Wigmore
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Foxburrow Wood, Howard School and The Railway pub. For rail, the closest station is Rainham (Kent) station, roughly 1 mile north-east of the centre. A little further out are Upnor Castle (4.6 miles north-west) and Pentagon Shopping Centre (3.6 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Boxley Hills and Bishop Saltings.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?

Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
