About our mastic sealing in Telscombe
Managing agents and housing associations usually need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Telscombe, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Telscombe mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For a site in Telscombe, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
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.
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Cost factors for mastic joints
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Blocks and managed buildings in Telscombe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Telscombe counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. At about 48 miles from central London, Telscombe is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Student blocks close to universities like University of Brighton, 3.3 miles to the east of Telscombe, are easiest to work on between tenancies. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Southease station, 2.6 miles to the north-east of Telscombe, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Telscombe is about 6 miles east of Brighton, in East Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Telscombe, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 308 places across East Sussex fall within our area, including Telscombe.

FAQs: Telscombe
Does a coastal location like Telscombe affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work at a site such as Meridian Shopping Centre, by Telscombe?
Yes. We cover Telscombe and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Meridian Shopping Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
