Mastic sealing for Aldrington sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Log resealing dates block by block
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Aldrington
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain 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 failed external movement joints, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Aldrington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as Aldrington, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Several jobs near Aldrington can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Questions we are asked in Aldrington
Does your area include sites such as Portland Road Trading Estate, near Aldrington?
Yes, sites like Portland Road Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Aldrington. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Portslade station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you need mastic sealing in Aldrington?
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- No planned programme for sealant
For a school such as Hove Junior School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Planned mastic for Aldrington portfolios
Aldrington sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Aldrington lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Philip's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you own or manage units on a site such as Portland Road Trading Estate, less than half a mile to the north-west of Aldrington, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Aldrington can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Brighton and Hove.
