Planned mastic for Well Hill portfolios
Well Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 14 miles from central London, Well Hill is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Mark Way Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Well Hill, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Site managers at schools like Chelsfield Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Well Hill
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- No planned programme for sealant
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Draughts at frames across a block
If you are responsible for a building such as Mission Chapel, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What site paperwork they can supply
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Jobs in and around smaller places like Well Hill are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Well Hill may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Public liability insurance in place

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
