How we handle mastic sealing in Broadwater
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. The enquiries we see most involve old repairs sealed over failed mastic and damp patches beside frames, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Broadwater, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as Broadwater, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. For buildings in places like Broadwater, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

FAQs: Broadwater
Will you take on work at estates like Downlands Business Park, close to Broadwater?
Yes. Our area takes in Broadwater and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Downlands Business Park included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Broadwater?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Will you just go over the old 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.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Planned mastic for Broadwater portfolios
Broadwater sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. 25 care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Broadwater. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
Trustees of buildings like St. Mary's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Schools and community buildings such as Broadwater CofE Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Older buildings near Broadwater, from historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (to the west of Broadwater) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
