Advice
How we handle mastic sealing in Roedean
Across Roedean and the rest of Brighton and Hove, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Site teams most often ask us about open joints in brickwork or panels and communal area joints that look neglected, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Roedean? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places like Roedean, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Converted and older buildings near places like Roedean tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Quoting for work in Roedean
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
When to call us in Roedean
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Property owners at sites such as Bell Tower Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles west of Roedean, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions from Roedean clients
We manage a building near Brighton station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is a smaller place like Roedean outside your area?
Not at all. Roedean is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Mastic sealing around Roedean: how the place shapes the job
Roedean sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Roedean is about 47 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Buildings close to stations like Brighton station, 2.2 miles north-west of Roedean, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Brighton, 2.3 miles to the north-west of Roedean, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.
