How we handle mastic sealing in Broadland Row

Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: 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 communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and complaints coming in block by block. Searching for sealant specialists in Broadland Row? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.

Around smaller places like Broadland Row, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.

Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What the job involves on each surface

Planned maintenance

How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.

Estate-wide resealing programmes

Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broadland Row are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
  2. You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
  3. The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
  4. Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
  5. Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
  6. Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
  • For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
  • Send your site hours and access windows

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Advice

Frames, entrances and external joints in Broadland Row

At about 50 miles from central London, Broadland Row is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Broadland Row is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.

If you’re responsible for a building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For agents with blocks near Doleham station, 1.9 miles south-west of Broadland Row, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. With historic buildings such as Great Dixter, 4 miles to the north-west of Broadland Row, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Broadland Row should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

Broadland Row is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Anywhere in TN31, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our East Sussex coverage takes in 308 places, large and small. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area.

Commercial sites across TN31 are covered for mastic joints. Streets here include Hundredhouse Lane and Udimore Road. Close to Broadland Row, our area also takes in Broad Oak (1 mile west), Udimore (1 mile east), Beckley Furnace (1 mile north-west), Doleham (2 miles south-west) and Broad Street (2 miles south-east).

Owners, agents and contractors

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

General trades versus a specialist

The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Broadland Row: questions and answers

Is Broadland Row off your patch?

No. Places such as Broadland Row are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Doleham station?

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.

How do you reach windows on upper floors?

It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

Do you work with property factors and landlords?

Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.

When is resealing likely to be due?

There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Honest limits

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
  • Glazing that needs replacing
  • Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints

Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
