What happens if it’s left?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Small buildings around Battle suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Mastic sealing in Battle
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Site teams most often ask us about repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Battle from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Battle often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. Send the addresses and photographs and we will quote for all of them together.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Log resealing dates block by block
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.

FAQs: Battle
Is Battle too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Rutherford Business Park, by Battle?
Yes. Our area takes in Battle and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Rutherford Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a site in Battle, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Battle
Rainfall across the South East, Battle included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Battle is about 47 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
For a school such as Battle and Langton Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Property owners at sites such as Rutherford Business Park, 1.4 miles to the north-east of Battle, can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you are responsible for a building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
