Mastic sealing in Foreland Fields
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed external movement joints and damp patches beside frames. Most enquiries from Foreland Fields start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For owners with a single building near Foreland Fields, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Blocks and managed buildings in Foreland Fields
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Foreland Fields. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Older community buildings, Saint Luke among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Older buildings near Foreland Fields, from historic houses such as Yaverland Manor, 2.6 miles west of Foreland Fields, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. If you look after a block within reach of Brading station, 2.7 miles to the west of Foreland Fields, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:

- The postcode of the building

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Questions we’re asked in Foreland Fields
Is Foreland Fields too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
We manage a building near Brading station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. 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 Foreland Fields. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
