Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.

How we handle mastic sealing in Hastings Old Town
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you are dealing with mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, whatever the surface.

Places the size of Hastings Old Town usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.

Hastings Old Town: questions and answers
Is Ivyhouse Industrial Estate, near Hastings Old Town, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hastings Old Town, Ivyhouse Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Hastings Old Town off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

For agents with blocks near Hastings station, which lies west of Hastings Old Town, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
