Questions about Balcombe
Is a smaller place like Balcombe outside your area?
No. Places such as Balcombe are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Balcombe portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Balcombe
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 Balcombe carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints, and what we are called in for most is repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and failed external movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Balcombe is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For owners with a single building near Balcombe, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
When to bring in a specialist
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For work around Balcombe, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Older rural buildings around Balcombe move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
