Mastic sealing in Bewbush
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and draughts at frames across a block, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Bewbush is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Bewbush often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. Send the addresses and photographs and we will quote for all of them together.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Do you need mastic sealing in Bewbush?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- No planned programme for sealant
Older community buildings, St Alban's among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. For buildings in places like Bewbush, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. For a site in Bewbush, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.

Advice
Honest limits

- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Bewbush: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Bewbush outside your area?
No. Places such as Bewbush are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
We manage a building near Ifield station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, 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.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Looking after buildings in and around Bewbush
Bewbush lies roughly 28 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Bewbush is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you look after a block within reach of Ifield station (0.8 miles north of Bewbush), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If your remit includes a building such as The Bewbush Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
