About our mastic sealing in Clayton
For blocks and buildings in Clayton and across West Sussex, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have complaints coming in block by block and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Clayton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around smaller places like Clayton, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
For owners and agents in Clayton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Central London is about 41 miles from Clayton. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Sussex, 3.9 miles south-east of Clayton, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. For agents with blocks near Hassocks station (1 mile north of Clayton), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

What else we do in Clayton
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Clayton can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Clayton
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Clayton, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What you get with us

Common problems we fix in Clayton
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Draughts at frames across a block
Landlords with units on estates such as Aviation Trading Estate, 2.8 miles to the west of Clayton, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their public liability cover
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Questions we are asked in Clayton
We manage a building near Hassocks station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Clayton, such as Aviation Trading Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Clayton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Aviation Trading Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
