Mastic sealing in Penpont, done properly
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is worn sealant at communal door frames and open joints in brickwork or panels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Penpont, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Penpont is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For work around Penpont, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
