Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Wickstreet
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. Resealed mastic joints in Wickstreet carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Wickstreet, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Wickstreet, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Wickstreet
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Schools and community buildings such as Bede's Prep School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Comparing quotes
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. For buildings around smaller places like Wickstreet, 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.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

For owners and agents in Wickstreet
At about 46 miles from central London, Wickstreet is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Wickstreet included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Older community buildings, The Parish Church of St Pancras among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. With historic buildings such as Michelham Priory (to the east of Wickstreet) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Wickstreet should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Wickstreet is about 3 miles west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Our applicators travel to Wickstreet for work on mastic joints. Wickstreet is one of 308 places in East Sussex on our list. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page.

What else we do in Wickstreet
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
FAQs: Wickstreet
Is Wickstreet too far out for you?
No. Places such as Wickstreet are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Deanland Business Park, close to Wickstreet?
Yes. We cover Wickstreet and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Deanland Business Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building around Wickstreet, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- 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.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out any areas we must not close
