About our mastic sealing in Chipstead
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Chipstead? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Chipstead, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common problems we fix in Chipstead
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Failed external movement joints
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
For owners of several units at places like Ullswater Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles north-east of Chipstead, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Questions about Chipstead
Do you cover business parks and estates near Chipstead, such as Ullswater Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Chipstead, Ullswater Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Chipstead off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
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.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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 instance 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.
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Chipstead
Chipstead is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 14 miles from Chipstead. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Older community buildings, Church of St Margaret among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Schools and community buildings such as Chipstead Valley Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
