Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Older rural buildings around Scarborough move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Questions we’re asked in Scarborough
We manage a building near Snodland 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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Scarborough, such as Pelican View Business Park?
Yes, sites like Pelican View Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Scarborough. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What paperwork can you provide?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you cover Scarborough?
Yes. We cover Scarborough, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
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 areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Scarborough
Rainfall across the South East, Scarborough included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Scarborough lies roughly 27 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Landlords with units on estates such as Pelican View Business Park (1.5 miles north-east of Scarborough) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Burham Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Snodland station (1.1 miles south-west of Scarborough) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Scarborough is about 3 miles south-west of Chatham, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Scarborough for work on mastic joints. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, around 27 miles from Scarborough.

After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Scarborough can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Scarborough, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
