What happens if it’s left?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Halls, stores and units around places like Rye Harbour may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Fully insured
About our mastic sealing in Rye Harbour
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 patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and damp patches beside frames, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Rye Harbour, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Rye Harbour, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Rye Harbour are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Rye Harbour can form part of a wider programme across East Sussex.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Questions about Rye Harbour
Is Rye Harbour too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
We manage a building near Rye station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will you just go over the old 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.
Blocks and managed buildings in Rye Harbour
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Rye Harbour. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. At about 54 miles from central London, Rye Harbour is within reach of the capital. 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.
Buildings close to stations like Rye station, 1.5 miles to the north-west of Rye Harbour, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Schools and community buildings such as Rye College need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Historic properties like Lamb House, 1.4 miles north-west of Rye Harbour, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
