Mastic sealing in Friar's Gate
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Mastic sealing in Friar's Gate, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Friar's Gate 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.
In and around smaller places like Friar's Gate, 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 stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Friar's Gate
Central London is about 31 miles from Friar's Gate. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Friar's Gate is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
If your remit includes a building such as St John's Church of England Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Older community buildings, St John's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Do you need mastic sealing in Friar's Gate?
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- No planned programme for sealant
- Movement joints with sealant missing
