Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Older rural buildings around Fickleshole move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Blocks and managed buildings in Fickleshole
Rainfall across the South East, Fickleshole included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Fickleshole lies roughly 13 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
For agents with blocks near Woldingham station, 3.2 miles south-west of Fickleshole, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. With historic buildings such as Down House (to the east of Fickleshole) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Fickleshole should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Leonard are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Fickleshole, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Log resealing dates block by block
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
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.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
