What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
How we handle mastic sealing in Long Hanborough
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and open joints in brickwork or panels, across communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. Most enquiries from Long Hanborough start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In a smaller place such as Long Hanborough, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Long Hanborough
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.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Trustees of buildings like Christ Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Before you book anyone
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their public liability cover
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a job in Long Hanborough, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Long Hanborough: questions and answers
Is Wroslyn Road Industrial Estate, near Long Hanborough, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Long Hanborough, Wroslyn Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Long Hanborough outside your area?
No. Places such as Long Hanborough are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
