Mastic sealing for Broadford sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Mastic sealing in Broadford, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Broadford and across Surrey, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Most enquiries from Broadford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Broadford, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Rural sites near Broadford may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.

- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you

When to call us in Broadford
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Buildings close to stations like Shalford station, under half a mile to the north-east of Broadford, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Why act early in Broadford
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Converted and older buildings near places like Broadford tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Broadford, such as Broadford Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Broadford and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Broadford Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Broadford off your patch?
Not at all. Broadford is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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 inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
