Mastic sealing in Burstow: the local picture
Burstow 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. Burstow is about 24 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Older community buildings, Church of St Bartholomew among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Landlords with units on estates such as Maple Business Park (less than half a mile north of Burstow) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Burstow is about 2 miles south-east of Horley, in Surrey. Our applicators travel to Burstow for work on mastic joints. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, Burstow among them. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area, about 22 miles away.

About our mastic sealing in Burstow
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you’re dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Burstow start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Burstow often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Questions we are asked in Burstow
Is Maple Business Park, near Burstow, within your area?
Yes, sites like Maple Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Burstow. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can work in a care setting near Burstow go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, 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. Inside work is seldom held up.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Converted and older buildings near places like Burstow tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us

When to call us in Burstow
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- No planned programme for sealant
For agents with blocks near Gatwick Airport station (1.3 miles west of Burstow), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

What else we do in Burstow
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- 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.
Surfaces we seal
