Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Mastic sealing in Barcombe
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Barcombe, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For buildings around smaller places like Barcombe, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

For owners and agents in Barcombe
Barcombe is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Barcombe lies roughly 41 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Cooksbridge station, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Barcombe, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. For owners of several units at places like Diplocks industrial estate, 2.1 miles south-east of Barcombe, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If you are responsible for a building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Barcombe is about 3 miles north of Lewes, in East Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Barcombe can call on us for mastic joints, as part of our coverage of East Sussex. Barcombe is one of 308 places in East Sussex on our list. We also cover Brighton, some 9 miles away.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Barcombe

Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Older rural buildings around Barcombe move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Is Barcombe off your patch?
No. Places such as Barcombe are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on a block within reach of Cooksbridge station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
