About our mastic sealing in Sheldwich Lees
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts.

We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and window mastic that has split and shrunk.

Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Sheldwich Lees tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.

What else we do in Sheldwich Lees
Why it’s worth doing now in Sheldwich Lees
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Halls, stores and units around places like Sheldwich Lees may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- One contact handling all your sites

Our process

- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.

FAQs: Sheldwich Lees
Can you quote for a block close to Selling station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Sheldwich Lees?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you cover Sheldwich Lees?
Yes. We take on work across Sheldwich Lees.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
When to call us in Sheldwich Lees
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St James, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Glazing that needs replacing
- 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.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
