Building and refurbishing in South Earlswood
South Earlswood sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. The area within 2 miles of South Earlswood holds a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hotels like The Mill House Hotel, 0.6 miles south of South Earlswood, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Units on estates such as Perrywood Business Park (to the south-east of South Earlswood) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

About our facade sealing in South Earlswood
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cold air coming in at window perimeters and previous reseals run over old sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in South Earlswood it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like South Earlswood, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions we are asked in South Earlswood
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Reigate College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near South Earlswood, such as Perrywood Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in South Earlswood and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Perrywood Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we will ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like South Earlswood are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Share access with other external trades
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Why deal with it now?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like South Earlswood. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

- New sealant peeling off old mastic

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
