Advice
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Common problems we fix in Shadoxhurst
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Draughts at frames across a block
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
