Mastic sealing for businesses in Stede Quarter

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Maintenance after handover

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
  • Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
  • Keep a record of when each building was resealed
  • Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can

Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.

Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Stede Quarter

There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are old repairs sealed over failed mastic and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Stede Quarter tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

For owners with a single building near Stede Quarter, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.

The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

  • Movement joints with sealant missing
  • Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

What sealant work can’t fix

Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Broken glass or failed sealed units
  • Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
  • Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods

If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Communal entrances and stairwells
  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks

Blocks and managed buildings in Stede Quarter

Stede Quarter lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.

For owners of several units at places like Business Park, 2.6 miles south of Stede Quarter, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Your questions answered

Is Business Park, near Stede Quarter, within your area?

Yes. We cover Stede Quarter and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Business Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.

Is a smaller place like Stede Quarter outside your area?

No. Places such as Stede Quarter are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

How do I request a quote?

There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.

What will the job cost?

There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.

How long before the joints can be used?

We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

What paperwork can you provide?

Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
