What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Brook
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve open joints in brickwork or panels and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whoever orders the work in Brook, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Brook 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common problems we fix in Brook
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Look out for the following:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Damp patches beside frames
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St. Mary'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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Blocks and managed buildings in Brook
Brook lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Brook is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
Historic properties like Mottistone Manor, 1.1 miles east of Brook, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Brook can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Brook change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Brook?
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 paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is Brook in your area?
Yes. Brook falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. 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.
