Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Gatton
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Site teams most often ask us about water getting in round frames after rain and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, across window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Gatton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like Gatton often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Gatton as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

For owners and agents in Gatton
Central London is about 17 miles from Gatton. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Gatton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
Trustees of buildings like St Andrew's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Landlords with units on estates such as Kingsfield Business Centre, 2.1 miles to the south of Gatton, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Gatton: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Gatton outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Merstham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship 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. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Common problems we fix in Gatton
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Failed external movement joints
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
If you look after a block within reach of Merstham station, 1 mile to the east of Gatton, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Gatton, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
What affects the price in Gatton
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
