Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Moorstock
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. If you have old repairs sealed over failed mastic and draughts at frames across a block, we can help, on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Moorstock first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Moorstock, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Your questions answered
Is Moorstock too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Moorstock is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Westenhanger station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.

What we’re called out for in Moorstock
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
If you look after a block within reach of Westenhanger station (1.8 miles south-east of Moorstock), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Looking after buildings in and around Moorstock
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Moorstock lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Property owners at sites such as Evegate Business Park, 2.2 miles to the west of Moorstock, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Why it’s worth doing now in Moorstock
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Converted and older buildings near places like Moorstock tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
