Mastic sealing in Hanover
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. The enquiries we see most involve worn sealant at communal door frames and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hanover, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Converted and older buildings in and around Hanover often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Blocks and managed buildings in Hanover
With the shore within about 1 mile, Hanover counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. Hanover is about 46 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
For agents with blocks near Brighton station, 0.6 miles to the west of Hanover, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Student blocks close to universities like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, 1.1 miles north of Hanover, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
Hanover is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We send applicators to Hanover for mastic joints. Across Brighton and Hove, 29 places are covered, Hanover among them.

Landmarks near Hanover
In Hanover, that means premises near Academy of Creative Training, Brighton Girls and The Dover Castle pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Brighton station, roughly 0.6 miles west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Old Police Cells Museum (0.8 miles south-west) and Brighton General Hospital (0.6 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Work in places the size of Hanover is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Related advice
Hanover: questions and answers
We manage a building near Brighton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Will you take on work at estates like Freshfield Industrial Estate, close to Hanover?
Yes. Our area takes in Hanover and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Freshfield Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
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 work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
What we are called out for in Hanover
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Trustees of buildings like Church of the Annunciation can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Before you book anyone
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
