Mastic sealing in East Farleigh
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
About our mastic sealing in East Farleigh
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you are dealing with the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in East Farleigh, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like East Farleigh, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in East Farleigh
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Failed external movement joints
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as East Farleigh station, under half a mile north of East Farleigh, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Common questions from East Farleigh clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near East Farleigh, such as Tovil Green Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in East Farleigh and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Tovil Green Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
We manage a building near East Farleigh station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like East Farleigh are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Request a quote
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
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 a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
