Mastic sealing in East Saltdean, done properly
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you are dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. For commercial sealant work in East Saltdean, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Older buildings and conversions around places like East Saltdean mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Small buildings around East Saltdean suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Looking after buildings in and around East Saltdean
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from East Saltdean. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. Rainfall across the South East, East Saltdean included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
Older community buildings, St Nicholas among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you own or manage units on a site such as Meridian Shopping Centre, 1.4 miles east of East Saltdean, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Schools and community buildings such as Saltdean Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Questions about East Saltdean
Is a smaller place like East Saltdean outside your area?
No. Places such as East Saltdean are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work in a care home near East Saltdean with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
