Mastic sealing in Worth
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Worth it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Worth often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Worth, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Block-wide mastic in Worth
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Worth. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Worth sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For a school such as Worth Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older buildings near Worth, from historic houses such as Walmer Castle (4.5 miles south-east of Worth) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

When to bring in a specialist

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Worth: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Birnham Farm Business Centre, close to Worth?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Worth, Birnham Farm Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Worth outside your area?
No. Places such as Worth are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
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.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
