Advice
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Jevington
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you are dealing with water getting in round frames after rain and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Jevington first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For owners with a single building near Jevington, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Jevington
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damp patches beside frames
Site managers at schools like Willingdon Community School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Mastic sealing in Jevington: the local picture
With the shore within about 3 miles, Jevington counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. At about 51 miles from central London, Jevington is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Buildings close to stations like Polegate station (2.3 miles north-east of Jevington) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Property owners at sites such as Chaucer Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Jevington) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Jevington is about 3 miles west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Any commercial site in Jevington is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Chaucer Industrial Estate, near Jevington?
Yes, sites like Chaucer Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Jevington. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Polegate station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
