Mastic sealing in Jenkins' Green
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Your questions answered
Do you work in occupied care homes around Jenkins' Green?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Our building in Jenkins' Green is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
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.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How we handle mastic sealing in Jenkins' Green
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you’re dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Jenkins' Green tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Jenkins' Green often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
What we’re called out for in Jenkins' Green
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
For agents with blocks near Pevensey & Westham station (1.1 miles south-east of Jenkins' Green), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Jenkins' Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Around Jenkins' Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
