Mastic sealing in Frostlane
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and what we are called in for most is water getting in round frames after rain and draughts at frames across a block. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Frostlane, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Frostlane, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Commercial clients in Frostlane
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Frostlane can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
FAQs: Frostlane
Can you work at a site such as Hardley Industrial Estate, by Frostlane?
Yes. Our area takes in Frostlane and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hardley Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can being near the sea in Frostlane affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Frostlane in your area?
Yes. Frostlane falls within our area, and you can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work so the work is phased.

Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Frostlane
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draughts at frames across a block
Trustees of buildings like St Anne can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Planned mastic for Frostlane portfolios
With the shore within about 1 mile, Frostlane counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Property owners at sites such as Hardley Industrial Estate, 1 mile south of Frostlane, can have mastic renewed between lettings. For a school such as Waterside Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Log resealing dates block by block
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
