Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Binsted
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, 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, with public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve failed external movement joints and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Binsted is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural conversions near places like Binsted often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
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.

Questions about Binsted
Is Binsted too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Binsted are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Tokar Industrial Park, near Binsted?
Yes, sites like Tokar Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Binsted. 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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Mastic sealing around Binsted: points for this area
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. The 2 miles around Binsted include six care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Property owners at sites such as Tokar Industrial Park (0.8 miles south-west of Binsted) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter

What we’re called out for in Binsted
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For agents with blocks near Ford station, which lies south-east of Binsted, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
