Frames, entrances and external joints in Sway
Rainfall across the South East, Sway included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Site managers at schools like St Luke's Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you are responsible for a building such as St Luke's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

How we handle mastic sealing in Sway
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Sway? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Places the size of Sway usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Questions about Sway
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Sway?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Sway too far out for you?
No. Places such as Sway are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
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.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a site in Sway, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

When to call us in Sway
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- No planned programme for sealant
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Sway station (less than half a mile south-west of Sway) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
