Mastic sealing in Kemptown
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells. For commercial sealant work in Kemptown, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Kemptown mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.

Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Questions about Kemptown
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Brighton station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Kemptown too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
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.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Kemptown can form part of a wider programme across Brighton and Hove.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Several jobs near Kemptown can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Different surfaces, different methods

Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Blocks and managed buildings in Kemptown
With the shore within about 1 mile, Kemptown counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. The 2 miles around Kemptown include seven care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Trustees of buildings like St George's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you own or manage units on a site such as Bell Tower Industrial Estate, which lies east of Kemptown, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Student blocks close to universities like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (to the north of Kemptown) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
Kemptown is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We send applicators to Kemptown for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Brighton and Hove coverage takes in 29 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout BN2. For a building on Abbey Road, Manor Road and Eastern Road or nearby, we can quote for mastic joints. If your building is just outside Kemptown, we cover Whitehawk (1 mile north-east), Carlton Hill (1 mile north-west), Hanover (1 mile north-west), Brighton (1 mile north-west) and West Hill (2 miles north-west). A short drive away, we cover Brighton and Hove (3 miles north-west), Hove (3 miles west), Portslade (5 miles north-west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Withdean (3 miles north-west) and Hangleton (4 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in Kemptown
Around Kemptown, our work takes us to commercial buildings near St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School, Queen's Park and Saint George's Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Brighton station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Brighton Motor Museum (under half a mile south-west) and Churchill Square (1.4 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
