Mastic sealing in Woodland
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Planned mastic for Woodland portfolios
At about 56 miles from central London, Woodland is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Buildings close to stations like Westenhanger station, 2.9 miles south-west of Woodland, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Site managers at schools like Lyminge Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Older buildings near Woodland, from historic houses such as Acrise Place (2.9 miles east of Woodland) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Woodland is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Woodland for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Woodland. Sites around London have their own page, about 56 miles away.

About our mastic sealing in Woodland
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and draughts at frames across a block, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Woodland, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Woodland, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Woodland, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.

Common questions from Woodland clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Westenhanger station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is a smaller place like Woodland outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
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.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
