Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
How we handle mastic sealing in Goodnestone
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. Most enquiries involve the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Goodnestone it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around smaller places like Goodnestone, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Looking after buildings in and around Goodnestone
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 60 miles from central London, Goodnestone is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
For a school such as Goodnestone Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of the Holy Cross are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

FAQs: Goodnestone
Can you quote for a block close to Adisham station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Does your area include sites such as Wingham Industrial Estate, near Goodnestone?
Yes. We cover Goodnestone and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wingham Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

What we are called out for in Goodnestone
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
For owners of several units at places like Wingham Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles north of Goodnestone, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
