Mastic sealing in Ningwood, done properly
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Site teams most often ask us about complaints coming in block by block and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. For commercial sealant work in Ningwood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For owners with a single building near Ningwood, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Around Ningwood, 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.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Block-wide mastic in Ningwood
Ningwood lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. Ningwood 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.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St. Michael the Archangel are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. With historic buildings such as Swainston Manor, 2.5 miles east of Ningwood, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ningwood should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Site managers at schools like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Questions we are asked in Ningwood
Does a coastal location like Ningwood affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Ningwood off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
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.
