Mastic sealing in Highbrook
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 CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and open joints in brickwork or panels. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Highbrook from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions near places like Highbrook 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions we are asked in Highbrook
Can you work at a site such as Horsted Keynes Business Park, by Highbrook?
Yes. Our area takes in Highbrook and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Horsted Keynes Business Park included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Highbrook outside your area?
No. Places such as Highbrook 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.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

What else we do in Highbrook
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Planned mastic for Highbrook portfolios
Rainfall across the South East, Highbrook included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Highbrook is about 31 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
For agents with blocks near Balcombe station, 3.4 miles to the west of Highbrook, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Older community buildings, All Saints Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you own or manage units on a site such as Horsted Keynes Business Park, 1.1 miles south-east of Highbrook, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
