About our mastic sealing in Moulsecoomb
For blocks and buildings in Moulsecoomb and across Brighton and Hove, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts at frames across a block, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Moulsecoomb from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Places the size of Moulsecoomb typically have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. In a smaller place such as Moulsecoomb, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Moulsecoomb
Can you quote for a block close to Moulsecoomb station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Moulsecoomb outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Quoting for work in Moulsecoomb
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
