Surface by surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Potter's Forstal
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve draughts at frames across a block and open joints in brickwork or panels, across communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Potter's Forstal it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Potter's Forstal 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Before you book anyone
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Potter's Forstal: questions and answers
Will you price a mastic programme across our Potter's Forstal portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is a smaller place like Potter's Forstal outside your area?
No. Places such as Potter's Forstal are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear.
