Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
About our mastic sealing in Faygate
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are movement joints with sealant missing and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Faygate, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Faygate, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share your contractor requirements early
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building around Faygate, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification

- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Faygate
Faygate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. At about 29 miles from central London, Faygate is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Schools and community buildings such as Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Trustees of buildings like St Francis' Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

What we’re called out for in Faygate
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damp patches beside frames
Buildings close to stations like Faygate station, less than half a mile to the south-west of Faygate, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
