Why it’s worth doing now in Shover's Green
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. For buildings around smaller places like Shover's Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

FAQs: Shover's Green
Can you quote for a block close to Stonegate station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is Shover's Green too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
What affects the price in Shover's Green
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
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.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used

Looking after buildings in and around Shover's Green
Shover's Green lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Shover's Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
With historic buildings such as Wadhurst Castle, 1.6 miles to the north-west of Shover's Green, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Shover's Green should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Landlords with units on estates such as Durgates Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Shover's Green) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

When to call us in Shover's Green
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Site managers at schools like Uplands Community College can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
