What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Mastic sealing in Wouldham, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wouldham first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural conversions near places like Wouldham 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Do you need mastic sealing in Wouldham?
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- No planned programme for sealant
For agents with blocks near Halling station, 0.6 miles to the west of Wouldham, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

For owners and agents in Wouldham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Wouldham lies roughly 26 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
For a school such as Halling Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older community buildings, Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Track which buildings were done and when
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Questions we are asked in Wouldham
Will you take on a block within reach of Halling station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Wouldham too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
