Mastic sealing in Abinger Bottom, done properly

We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Abinger Bottom, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Block-wide mastic in Abinger Bottom

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Abinger Bottom is about 25 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.

Older community buildings, Church of St James among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Schools and community buildings such as Belmont Prep School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Abinger Bottom is about 4 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. Commercial clients in Abinger Bottom can call on us for mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Surrey. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 25 miles from Abinger Bottom.

Do you need mastic sealing in Abinger Bottom?

Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

  • Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
  • Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
  • Communal area joints that look neglected
  • Water getting in round frames after rain

For agents with blocks near Gomshall station, 3 miles to the north-west of Abinger Bottom, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Comparing quotes

  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • Their public liability cover
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

How to choose a sealant contractor

Looking after the joints

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:

  • Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
  • Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
  • Protect low-level joints in entrances
  • Share the asbestos register when you send details

Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.

The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.

Why act early in Abinger Bottom

Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Abinger Bottom, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Abinger Bottom: questions and answers

Do you cover business parks and estates near Abinger Bottom, such as Chapel Lane Industrial Estate?

Yes, sites like Chapel Lane Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Abinger Bottom. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Is Abinger Bottom off your patch?

Not at all. Abinger Bottom is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

When is resealing likely to be due?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

What do you charge?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.

How long before the joints can be used?

We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

Which sealant will you use?

If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

When it isn’t the sealant

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Materials that need asbestos testing before work
  • Broken glass or failed sealed units
  • Substrate edges that need repairing first

Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • Communal entrances and stairwells

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

From enquiry to sign-off

A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Abinger Bottom, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
  2. The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
  3. Failed mastic is removed completely.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

Before we start on site

  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Make sure the joints can be reached
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
