Mastic sealing in Earlswood
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Earlswood tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Earlswood mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

For owners and agents in Earlswood
Earlswood lies roughly 19 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Earlswood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
For a school such as St John's Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Buildings close to stations like Earlswood (Surrey) station, less than half a mile to the east of Earlswood, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Property owners at sites such as Kingsfield Business Centre, 0.5 miles north-east of Earlswood, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Earlswood is about 1 mile south of Redhill, in Surrey. We cover commercial sites throughout Earlswood, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 379 places across Surrey fall within our area, Earlswood among them. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 19 miles away.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout RH1 and RH2, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Brook Road, Ifold Road and Emlyn Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for mastic joints. Being close to the A23, Earlswood is straightforward for us to reach.

Near you in Earlswood
Around Earlswood, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Flying Scud pub, Reigate School and Dunottar School and the streets around them. Earlswood has its own railway station: Earlswood (Surrey) station. Nearby you’ll also find The Belfry (0.9 miles north) and Surrey Fire Museum (1.5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Colley Hill and Reigate Heath.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a job in Earlswood, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Common questions from Earlswood clients
Is a smaller place like Earlswood outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
We manage a building near Earlswood (Surrey) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold 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. Inside work is seldom held up.
What paperwork can you provide?
We’re 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’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
