How we handle mastic sealing in Fairlands
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. 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 balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is brittle perimeter mastic across a building and complaints coming in block by block. Searching for sealant specialists in Fairlands? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Fairlands tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks

External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Your questions answered
Is Fairlands off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Normandy Business Park, close to Fairlands?
Yes. We cover Fairlands and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Normandy Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.

Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Fairlands move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Track which buildings were done and when
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Mastic sealing in Fairlands: the local picture

Property owners at sites such as Normandy Business Park (to the north-west of Fairlands) can have mastic renewed between lettings. For agents with blocks near Guildford station, 2.4 miles to the south-east of Fairlands, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Surrey, 1.3 miles to the south-east of Fairlands, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
