Our mastic sealing service in Brighton and Hove
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and failed external movement joints.
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

For owners and agents in Brighton and Hove
Buildings across Brighton and Hove range from older blocks with replacement windows to recent developments. We inspect the whole building first, so you know which joints need doing now.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and Brighton and Hove is part of the area we cover. Along the coast in Brighton and Hove, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, so work is often best planned for quieter months.
Brighton: Student blocks close to universities like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (0.9 miles north-east of Brighton) are easiest to work on between tenancies. Schools and community buildings such as Fairlight Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: 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.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Why act early?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions we are asked in Brighton and Hove
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
