Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Little Conghurst, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
How we handle mastic sealing in Little Conghurst
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. Most enquiries involve the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Little Conghurst first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Little Conghurst tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Surface by surface
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
When to call us in Little Conghurst
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Draughts at frames across a block
Older community buildings, Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Cost factors for mastic joints
What shapes the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Etchingham station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Little Conghurst too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Mastic sealing in Little Conghurst: the local picture
