Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Older rural buildings around Hammerpot move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

How we handle mastic sealing in Hammerpot
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. Most enquiries from Hammerpot start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Hammerpot tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hammerpot are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.

Mastic sealing in Hammerpot: the local picture
Hammerpot lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Central London is about 49 miles from Hammerpot. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Schools and community buildings such as St Margaret's CofE Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you own or manage units on a site such as The Vinery Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles to the west of Hammerpot, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If you look after a block within reach of Angmering station, which lies south of Hammerpot, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs: Hammerpot
Do you work in occupied care homes around Hammerpot?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Is Hammerpot too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Hammerpot are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
