Block-wide mastic in Polegate
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Polegate is about 49 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Property owners at sites such as Chaucer Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles to the east of Polegate, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Trustees of buildings like St John's Church of England Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Site managers at schools like Polegate Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Polegate
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and draught complaints from residents or tenants, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Polegate start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Places the size of Polegate typically have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.

After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Share your contractor requirements early
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Polegate. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
