Mastic sealing in Lyminster, done properly
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 while we work. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and what we are called in for most is patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Lyminster is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In and around smaller places like Lyminster, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
FAQs: Lyminster
Will you take on a block within reach of Arundel station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is Lyminster too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as 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 asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
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.
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.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
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 we quote building by building or as a programme.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Lyminster, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Related advice
For owners and agents in Lyminster
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Lyminster. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. Rainfall across the South East, Lyminster included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Arundel station, 1.3 miles north of Lyminster, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Historic properties like Ecclesden Manor, 3.3 miles to the east of Lyminster, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Property owners at sites such as Lineside Road Industrial Estate, 1 mile south of Lyminster, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
