Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Folly Town
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Site teams most often ask us about patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Folly Town first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Folly Town, 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. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Mastic sealing around Folly Town: points for this area
Folly Town sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East.

Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.

Schools and community buildings such as Wye School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you look after a block within reach of Wye station, which lies north-west of Folly Town, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What affects the price in Folly Town
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Questions we’re asked in Folly Town
Is Folly Town too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Folly Town portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
