About our mastic sealing in Yalding
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and failed external movement joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Yalding, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like Yalding often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Block-wide mastic in Yalding
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Yalding lies roughly 30 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Trustees of buildings like St Peter's and St Paul's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you own or manage units on a site such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south-west of Yalding, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and spreads the work.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Commercial clients in Yalding
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Advice
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
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 you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
More services for Yalding
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Common problems we fix in Yalding
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Failed external movement joints
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you look after a block within reach of Yalding station, which lies west of Yalding, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Common questions from Yalding clients
Is a smaller place like Yalding outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Woodfalls Industrial Estate, close to Yalding?
Yes. Our area takes in Yalding and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
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, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
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.
