Mastic sealing in Thundersley
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Thundersley carry our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about no planned programme for sealant and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Thundersley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Older buildings in towns like Thundersley have often had replacement windows fitted at different times, which leaves perimeter mastic of very different ages. A look at the whole building shows which joints need doing now.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually 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. If you have more than one building in Thundersley, they can often be done on the same visit. Tell us when the building is open and we will plan to suit.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- 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.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows usually get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Misted or failed double-glazed units

FAQs: Thundersley
Does your area include sites such as Manor Trading Estate, near Thundersley?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Thundersley, Manor Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Thundersley?
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.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
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.
Common problems we fix in Thundersley
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Peter are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
