Mastic sealing in Hangleton
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is communal area joints that look neglected and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate.

Owners with buildings around smaller places like Hangleton often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll quote for all of them together.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Hangleton clients
Will you take on work at estates like Portland Road Trading Estate, close to Hangleton?
Yes. We cover Hangleton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Portland Road Trading Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you take on a block within reach of Portslade station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Looking after buildings in and around Hangleton
Hangleton is within about 2 miles of the coast. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Hangleton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Trustees of buildings like St Helen's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Schools and community buildings such as Hangleton Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. For agents with blocks near Portslade station (1 mile south of Hangleton), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

What else we do in Hangleton
What happens if it’s left?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. In a smaller place such as Hangleton, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
