About our mastic sealing in Netherfield
Different joints need different sealants. 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. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, across shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Netherfield, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Netherfield tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. 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. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Blocks and managed buildings in Netherfield
Netherfield is about 45 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Netherfield sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Schools and community buildings such as Netherfield CofE Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Historic properties like Durhamford Manor, 3.3 miles to the east of Netherfield, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. For owners of several units at places like Vinehall Business Centre (2.5 miles east of Netherfield), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Netherfield is about 7 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Netherfield sits inside our coverage and the rest of East Sussex, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our East Sussex coverage takes in 308 places.

Questions about Netherfield
Is Netherfield too far out for you?
No. Places such as Netherfield are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on a block within reach of Battle 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’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Why act early in Netherfield
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Around Netherfield, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. If others near Netherfield need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Quoting for work in Netherfield
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
