Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and damp patches beside frames, on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whoever orders the work in Framfield, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Framfield often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Framfield
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Look out for the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Site managers at schools like Framfield Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Planned mastic for Framfield portfolios
At about 38 miles from central London, Framfield is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Framfield is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
If you look after a block within reach of Uckfield station, 1.6 miles to the west of Framfield, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you’re responsible for a building such as St Thomas à Becket Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Framfield is about 1 mile east of Uckfield, in East Sussex.

FAQs: Framfield
Does your area include sites such as Enlightened Business Park, near Framfield?
Yes, sites like Enlightened Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Framfield. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
We manage a building near Uckfield station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Framfield, 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.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
