Mastic sealing in Burpham
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Burpham
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are worn sealant at communal door frames and water getting in round frames after rain. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Burpham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Burpham often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. Send the addresses and photographs and we will quote for all of them together.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.

Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Advice
Questions we are asked in Burpham
We manage a building near London Road (Guildford) station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is Burpham too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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 soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
