Mastic sealing in Lynsore Bottom, done properly
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’ll confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is occupiers reporting cold air round windows and movement joints with sealant missing. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Lynsore Bottom, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Lynsore Bottom, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lynsore Bottom
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Halls, stores and units around places like Lynsore Bottom may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Block-wide mastic in Lynsore Bottom
Rainfall across the South East, Lynsore Bottom 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. Lynsore Bottom is about 55 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Older community buildings, Church of St Peter and St Paul among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Student accommodation around universities such as University for the Creative Arts (4.7 miles north of Lynsore Bottom) is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. If you own or manage units on a site such as Barham Business Park, which lies south-east of Lynsore Bottom, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
