How we handle mastic sealing in Greatstone-on-Sea
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and water getting in round frames after rain. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Greatstone-on-Sea it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Greatstone-on-Sea, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Your questions answered
Will you work in a care home in Greatstone-on-Sea without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Does a coastal location like Greatstone-on-Sea affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
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 we are called out for in Greatstone-on-Sea
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Site managers at schools like Greatstone Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Older rural buildings around Greatstone-on-Sea move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
