Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Plaitford Green
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and leaks at window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Plaitford Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like Plaitford Green often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of 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.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

What else we do in Plaitford Green
Questions we’re asked in Plaitford Green
Will you take on a block within reach of Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you take on work at estates like Gardeners Business Park, close to Plaitford Green?

Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Plaitford Green
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Halls, stores and units around places like Plaitford Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
