About our mastic sealing in High Hurstwood

Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and movement joints with sealant missing, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in High Hurstwood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Rural conversions near places like High Hurstwood often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.

Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How the quote is worked out

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Travel to remote or island sites

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Details that help us quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • Access details, including height
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • The product your specification calls for

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.

Our process

We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around High Hurstwood can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
  2. The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
  3. We agree the programme and dates with you.
  4. Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
  5. Joints are resealed and tooled.
  6. Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Make sure the joints can be reached
  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Send any specification or drawings in advance

Ask for a quote

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Looking after buildings in and around High Hurstwood

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. High Hurstwood lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.

Property owners at sites such as Ashdown Business Park (2.8 miles south-west of High Hurstwood) can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you look after a block within reach of Buxted station (1.8 miles south of High Hurstwood), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Different surfaces, different methods

Estate-wide resealing programmes

Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.

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.

Maintenance after handover

For the best life from the joints:

  • Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
  • Reduce knocks to communal area joints
  • Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
  • Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks

Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.

Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

Common questions from High Hurstwood clients

Is High Hurstwood too far out for you?

No. Places such as High Hurstwood are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Do you cover business parks and estates near High Hurstwood, such as Ashdown Business Park?

Yes. We cover High Hurstwood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Ashdown Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.

Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?

We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

How do you handle work on occupied blocks?

We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.

How do I request a quote?

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Is any job too small?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

How much does the work cost?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Why it’s worth doing now in High Hurstwood

Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Converted and older buildings near places like High Hurstwood tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

When to call us in High Hurstwood

Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Water getting in round frames after rain
  • Complaints coming in block by block
  • Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
  • Draught complaints from residents or tenants

Trustees of buildings like Holy Trinity Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Before you book anyone

  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
