Advice
About our mastic sealing in Polstead Heath
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. 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 will confirm the colours available for the specified product. Most enquiries involve old repairs sealed over failed mastic and worn sealant at communal door frames, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Polstead Heath from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Polstead Heath 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 workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Polstead Heath. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Why it’s worth doing now in Polstead Heath
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Older rural buildings around Polstead Heath move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
