Your questions answered
Is Chapel Row too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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 Pevensey Bay station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
About our mastic sealing in Chapel Row
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is worn sealant at communal door frames and water getting in round frames after rain. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Chapel Row, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Chapel Row tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Block-wide mastic in Chapel Row
At about 46 miles from central London, Chapel Row is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Chapel 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 elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
For a school such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older buildings near Chapel Row, from historic houses such as Horselunges Manor, 3.4 miles to the west of Chapel Row, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Quoting for work in Chapel Row
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
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.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

What else we do in Chapel Row
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. If others near Chapel Row need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
When to call us in Chapel Row
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Damp patches beside frames
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Buildings close to stations like Pevensey Bay station (to the south of Chapel Row) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
