Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Bachelor's Bump
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, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. Site teams most often ask us about no planned programme for sealant and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Bachelor's Bump it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For owners with a single building near Bachelor's Bump, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

- Damp patches beside frames

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
For owners and agents in Bachelor's Bump
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Bachelor's Bump. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Older community buildings, Christ Apostolic Church Hastings among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Landlords with units on estates such as Ivyhouse Industrial Estate (to the west of Bachelor's Bump) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
