Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows usually get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Flishinghurst. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

About our mastic sealing in Flishinghurst
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you have draughts at frames across a block and complaints coming in block by block, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Flishinghurst it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Flishinghurst often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Flishinghurst: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Hartley Dyke Business Centre, close to Flishinghurst?
Yes, sites like Hartley Dyke Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Flishinghurst. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near Marden station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, 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.
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 in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
When to call us in Flishinghurst
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Look out for the following:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Schools and community buildings such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Flishinghurst may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- 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.

What sealant work can’t fix

- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first

What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
