About our mastic sealing in St Leonards
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in St Leonards, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as St Leonards, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
St Leonards: questions and answers
Is St Leonards too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in St Leonards?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
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.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. What matters most for a job in St Leonards is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around St Leonards. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why act early in St Leonards
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

St Leonards is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Trustees of buildings like All Saints can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you own or manage units on a site such as Ashley Heath Industrial Estate (1.4 miles north-west of St Leonards), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- No planned programme for sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If your remit includes a building such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen

Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
