Mastic sealing in Bolney, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Bolney carry our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about communal area joints that look neglected and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Bolney it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For owners with a single building near Bolney, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
When to call us in Bolney
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Typical triggers for a call:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Mary Magdalene's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells

What else we do in Bolney
Frames, entrances and external joints in Bolney
Bolney is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Bolney lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Buildings close to stations like Wivelsfield station, 4.1 miles south-east of Bolney, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. For owners of several units at places like Crosspot Industrial Estate (0.8 miles south-west of Bolney), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Bolney is about 4 miles north-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Bolney use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of West Sussex.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.

Bolney: questions and answers
We manage a building near Wivelsfield station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Bolney too far out for you?
No. Places such as Bolney are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
