What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Sheldwich. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Smaller jobs around Sheldwich can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.

- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready

Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Block-wide mastic in Sheldwich
Sheldwich is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 45 miles from Sheldwich.

Trustees of buildings like Church of St James can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Sheldwich: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Sheldwich outside your area?
No. Places such as Sheldwich are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
We manage a building near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
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.
Surface by surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Older rural buildings around Sheldwich 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: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
