Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How we handle mastic sealing in Town Row
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you’re dealing with communal area joints that look neglected and damp patches beside frames, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Town Row start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Town Row, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Town Row
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. For buildings around smaller places like Town Row, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Town Row may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Blocks and managed buildings in Town Row
Central London is about 34 miles from Town Row. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Town Row sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
With historic buildings such as Wadhurst Castle, 4.4 miles east of Town Row, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Town Row should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you look after a block within reach of Crowborough station, which lies west of Town Row, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For a school such as Rotherfield Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods

Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
