About our mastic sealing in Udimore
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you are dealing with complaints coming in block by block and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Udimore 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.
In and around smaller places like Udimore, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Commercial clients in Udimore
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Udimore. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

Questions about Udimore
Will you take on a block within reach of Winchelsea station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Udimore too far out for you?
Not at all. Udimore is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Blocks and managed buildings in Udimore
Rainfall across the South East, Udimore included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Udimore lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
With historic buildings such as Lamb House, 3.4 miles to the east of Udimore, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Udimore should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you look after a block within reach of Winchelsea station, 2.1 miles to the east of Udimore, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Older community buildings, The Parish Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

What else we do in Udimore
What affects the price in Udimore
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs in and around smaller places like Udimore are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
