Advice
About our mastic sealing in Brandfold
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, 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. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Whoever orders the work in Brandfold, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around smaller places like Brandfold, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Brandfold as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Brandfold, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Do you need mastic sealing in Brandfold?
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Buildings close to stations like Marden station (3.4 miles north of Brandfold) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Questions we’re asked in Brandfold
Is Brandfold too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Marden station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Block-wide mastic in Brandfold
Brandfold lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Rainfall across the South East, Brandfold included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
If you’re responsible for a building such as St Mary's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Older buildings near Brandfold, from historic houses such as Scotney Castle, 3.5 miles south-west of Brandfold, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
