Mastic sealing for Pittswood sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Do you need mastic sealing in Pittswood?
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
For a school such as Hadlow Rural Community School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Mastic sealing in Pittswood
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and communal area joints that look neglected. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Pittswood it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural conversions near places like Pittswood often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Questions about Pittswood
Can you quote for a block close to Tonbridge station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit 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.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
