How we handle mastic sealing in Further Quarter
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about window mastic that has split and shrunk and open joints in brickwork or panels, across shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Further Quarter, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Further Quarter, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Further Quarter as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
FAQs: Further Quarter
Can you quote for a block close to Pluckley station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Further Quarter portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
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 work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
