What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Around Bodle Street Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts

Common problems we fix in Bodle Street Green
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Extensions at sites like Amberstone Hospital, 3.6 miles south-west of Bodle Street Green, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How the existing material will be dealt with
On site: what to expect
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. If others near Bodle Street Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Bodle Street Green: questions and answers
Can you keep pace with our programme in Bodle Street Green?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Amberstone Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Building and refurbishing in Bodle Street Green
Bodle Street Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 45 miles from central London, Bodle Street Green is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
