Planned mastic for Green Cross portfolios
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. At about 38 miles from central London, Green Cross is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
For agents with blocks near Haslemere station (3.7 miles south-east of Green Cross), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St John the Evangelist are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Green Cross is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Our applicators travel to Green Cross for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Reading page.

How we handle mastic sealing in Green Cross
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and no planned programme for sealant, on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Green Cross, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like Green Cross 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Green Cross are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Ask for a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Advice
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline

When to call us in Green Cross
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- No planned programme for sealant
For a school such as St John's CofE Aided Infant School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Questions we’re asked in Green Cross
Is Green Cross too far out for you?
No. Places such as Green Cross are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on a block within reach of Haslemere station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
