About our mastic sealing in Broughton
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. Site teams most often ask us about complaints coming in block by block and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Broughton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Broughton, 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.
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.

Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most and tend to fail first.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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 normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broughton are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Why act early in Broughton
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Converted and older buildings near places like Broughton tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- CHAS accredited
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Broughton?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you work in Broughton?
Yes. We take on work across Broughton.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
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.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Broughton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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. At about 69 miles from central London, Broughton is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Schools and community buildings such as Broughton Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, 4.3 miles south of Broughton, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
