Mastic sealing in Hay Street
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Site teams most often ask us about window mastic that has split and shrunk and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hay Street, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Hay Street, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Watermill Industrial Estate, by Hay Street?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hay Street, Watermill Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Hay Street portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you work in Hay Street?
Yes. We cover Hay Street, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Common problems we fix in Hay Street
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
Property owners at sites such as Watermill Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Hay Street) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around Hay Street can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Central London is about 29 miles from Hay Street. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Hay Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
Trustees of buildings like Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Site managers at schools like Jenyns First School and Nursery can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Older rural buildings around Hay Street move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
