Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around Friar's Hill, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Questions about Friar's Hill
Is a smaller place like Friar's Hill outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Three Oaks station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
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.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Planned mastic for Friar's Hill portfolios
Friar's Hill is within about 2 miles of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. Friar's Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Laurence's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you own or manage units on a site such as Ivyhouse Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles south-west of Friar's Hill, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
