Mastic sealing in Great Bookham, done properly
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints in brickwork or panels and draughts at frames across a block. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Great Bookham from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Great Bookham, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Block-wide mastic in Great Bookham
Great Bookham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. Central London is about 19 miles from Great Bookham. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Buildings close to stations like Bookham station, 0.8 miles to the north-west of Great Bookham, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. With historic buildings such as Polesden Lacey (to the south of Great Bookham) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Great Bookham should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you own or manage units on a site such as Bookham Industrial Estate (0.7 miles north-west of Great Bookham), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Commercial clients in Great Bookham
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a job in Great Bookham, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
Request a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
FAQs: Great Bookham
Is Great Bookham too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Bookham Industrial Estate, by Great Bookham?
Yes, sites like Bookham Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Great Bookham. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
