Questions about Wincheap
Will you take on work at estates like Wincheap Industrial Estate, close to Wincheap?
Yes. Our area takes in Wincheap and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wincheap Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Wincheap too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Wincheap is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Wincheap
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Signs you need mastic sealing in Wincheap
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mildred are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
