Looking after buildings in and around Hooe Common
Hooe Common is within about 3 miles of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Hooe Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Property owners at sites such as Elva Business Centre, 2.9 miles to the south-east of Hooe Common, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Older community buildings, The Parish Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For agents with blocks near Cooden Beach station, 2.6 miles south of Hooe Common, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

How we handle mastic sealing in Hooe Common
Across Hooe Common and the rest of East Sussex, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. If you’re dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hooe Common, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Hooe Common tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.

What else we do in Hooe Common
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions about Hooe Common
Our building in Hooe Common is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Hooe Common too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
