About our mastic sealing in Burwash Common
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is a mix of products and colours from past repairs and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Burwash Common, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Burwash Common, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common questions from Burwash Common clients
Is Burwash Common too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Burwash Common, such as Swife Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Burwash Common and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Swife Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.

Planned mastic for Burwash Common portfolios
Burwash Common lies roughly 40 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Burwash Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Philip'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. If you look after a block within reach of Stonegate station, 2.7 miles north-east of Burwash Common, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Burwash Common is about 9 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Burwash Common. 308 places across East Sussex fall within our area, Burwash Common among them. We also cover Brighton, some 23 miles away.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
When to call us in Burwash Common
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
Historic properties like Bateman's, 1.8 miles east of Burwash Common, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

Advice
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
