Mastic sealing in Force Green
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Force Green, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Force Green tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Force Green: questions and answers
We manage a building near Oxted station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Force Green portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you cover Force Green?
Yes. We cover Force Green, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.

Looking after buildings in and around Force Green
Force Green 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 normally need attention first. Force Green lies roughly 17 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Older buildings near Force Green, from historic houses such as Quebec House (to the south of Force Green) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Force Green
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Failed external movement joints
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
For agents with blocks near Oxted station (3.8 miles south-west of Force Green), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
