For owners and agents in Boreham Street
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 47 miles from Boreham Street. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Boreham Street, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Mastic sealing in Boreham Street
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with worn sealant at communal door frames and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Boreham Street, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Boreham Street, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in East Sussex. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Normans Bay station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Boreham Street?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share your contractor requirements early
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Boreham Street can form part of a wider programme.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
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 quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
When to call us in Boreham Street
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Failed external movement joints
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Normans Bay station, 3.7 miles south of Boreham Street, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
