Frames, entrances and external joints in Bevendean
Bevendean lies within about 2 miles of the sea. 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. Bevendean sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Schools and community buildings such as Bevendean Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Property owners at sites such as The Hyde Business Park (less than half a mile south of Bevendean) can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you’re responsible for a building such as Holy Nativity Community Project, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Bevendean
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. The enquiries we see most involve draughts at frames across a block and no planned programme for sealant, across communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Bevendean? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Questions about Bevendean
Will you take on a block within reach of Moulsecoomb station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Bevendean too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Bevendean can form part of a wider programme across Brighton and Hove.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Bevendean need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Why act early in Bevendean
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Small buildings around Bevendean suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
