After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
About our mastic sealing in Boughton Lees
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you’re dealing with the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Boughton Lees? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Rural conversions near places like Boughton Lees 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. If others near Boughton Lees need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site

Common questions from Boughton Lees clients
We manage a building near Wye station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Will you take on work at estates like Eurogate Business Park, close to Boughton Lees?
Yes. Our area takes in Boughton Lees and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Eurogate Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. For buildings around smaller places like Boughton Lees, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Planned mastic for Boughton Lees portfolios
At about 48 miles from central London, Boughton Lees is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Boughton Lees sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Wye station, 1.4 miles to the east of Boughton Lees, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If you own or manage units on a site such as Eurogate Business Park, 2.2 miles to the south-west of Boughton Lees, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

What else we do in Boughton Lees

- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units

When to call us in Boughton Lees
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Saint Christopher's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
