About our mastic sealing in Chiddingly
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Chiddingly carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have communal area joints that look neglected and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Chiddingly tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Chiddingly, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chiddingly
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Around Chiddingly, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Mastic sealing in Chiddingly: the local picture
Central London is about 43 miles from Chiddingly. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Trustees of buildings like The Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you look after a block within reach of Berwick (Sussex) station, 4.7 miles to the south of Chiddingly, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For owners of several units at places like Oakwood Business Park, which lies south of Chiddingly, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Questions we are asked in Chiddingly
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Will you take on work at estates like Oakwood Business Park, close to Chiddingly?
Yes. We cover Chiddingly and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Oakwood Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
