Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle mastic sealing in Artington
For blocks and buildings in Artington and across Surrey, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Artington first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Artington often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When to call us in Artington
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus (1.7 miles north-west of Artington), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

What else we do in Artington
For owners and agents in Artington
Artington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. At about 29 miles from central London, Artington is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you look after a block within reach of Shalford station, which lies south-east of Artington, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Artington is about 2 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Our applicators travel to Artington for work on mastic joints. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, Artington among them. Sites around Reading have their own page, roughly 23 miles from Artington.

What we can’t put right

- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken

Advice
Questions about Artington
Is Artington off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on a block within reach of Shalford station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
