Mastic sealing in Crockerhill, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Crockerhill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like Crockerhill often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Crockerhill
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Damp patches beside frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building

Commercial clients in Crockerhill
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around Crockerhill, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
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.

Is Crockerhill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Crockerhill is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
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. Internal work is far less affected.

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 are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
