For owners and agents in Broadfield
Rainfall across the South East, Broadfield included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Broadfield. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Older buildings near Broadfield, from historic houses such as Tyes Place (4.4 miles south-east of Broadfield) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. If you look after a block within reach of Crawley station (1.4 miles north-east of Broadfield), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Questions we’re asked in Broadfield
Is Tilgate Forest Business Centre, near Broadfield, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Broadfield and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Tilgate Forest Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Crawley station?
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’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Broadfield in your area?
Yes. Broadfield falls within our area, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Broadfield need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Common problems we fix in Broadfield
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Christ The Lord are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
