About our mastic sealing in Chipstead
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are worn sealant at communal door frames and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Chipstead it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Chipstead, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to Dunton Green station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Salters Heath Business Centre, near Chipstead, within your area?
Yes, sites like Salters Heath Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Chipstead. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Is Chipstead in your area?
Yes. We cover Chipstead, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What we are called out for in Chipstead
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Schools and community buildings such as Amherst School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the existing material will be dealt with

What else we do in Chipstead
Blocks and managed buildings in Chipstead
At about 18 miles from central London, Chipstead is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Chipstead included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
Older community buildings, Chapel of the Good Shepherd among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you look after a block within reach of Dunton Green station, 1.2 miles north-east of Chipstead, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Chipstead is about 2 miles west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Chipstead sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Chipstead is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. We also cover London, around 18 miles from Chipstead.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout TN13 and TN14, for business premises of every kind. Buildings on High Street, Homedean Road and Chevening Road are within our area for mastic joints. Nearby places we also cover include Bessels Green (1 mile south-east), Riverhead (1 mile east), Dunton Green (1 mile north-east), Sundridge (1 mile south-west) and Chevening (1 mile north-west) for mastic joints. Nearby towns on our patch include Dartford (11 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (12 miles south-east), Gravesend (14 miles north-east), Tonbridge (8 miles south-east), Northfleet (13 miles north-east) and Swanley (8 miles north).
Landmarks near Chipstead
We work on buildings around Montreal Park, The Bricklayers Arms and Trinity School. For rail, the closest station is Dunton Green station, roughly 1.2 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Sevenoaks Museum (2.2 miles south-east) and Kemsing Castle Bank (3.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Betsom's Hill and Dryhill Nature Reserve.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
