Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic sealing in Hankham
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is communal area joints that look neglected and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Whoever orders the work in Hankham, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Hankham, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in East Sussex. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Questions we’re asked in Hankham
Is a smaller place like Hankham outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does a coastal location like Hankham affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
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 will tell you how we’d approach it.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Block-wide mastic in Hankham
With the shore within about 3 miles, Hankham counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Hankham. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Luke's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Property owners at sites such as Langsett Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles south-east of Hankham, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Student blocks close to universities like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus, 5 miles to the south of Hankham, are easiest to work on between tenancies.

What affects the price in Hankham
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
