Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
About our mastic sealing in Hoe
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hoe, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Hoe tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Gomshall station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Hoe?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Is Hoe in your area?
Yes. We cover Hoe, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Common problems we fix in Hoe
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mark are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Proof of insurance
- How joint depth will be controlled
For owners and agents in Hoe
Hoe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 25 miles from Hoe. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
For agents with blocks near Gomshall station, which lies north of Hoe, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Historic properties like Hatchlands Park, 4 miles to the north of Hoe, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Hoe is about 5 miles west of Dorking, in Surrey. We send applicators to Hoe for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover London, some 25 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in GU5 are within our area. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Fulvens, Pursers Lane and Crest Hill. We also cover Sutton Abinger (1 mile east), Abinger Hammer (1 mile north), Gomshall (1 mile north), Abinger (1 mile east) and Little London (2 miles west). Bigger towns within reach include Guildford (7 miles north-west), Woking (10 miles north-west), Camberley (15 miles north-west), Epsom (12 miles north-east), Horley (12 miles east) and Redhill (12 miles east).
Local landmarks in Hoe
We work on buildings around Colekitchen Down and The Volunteer pub, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Gomshall station, about 1.1 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Mesolithic Museum (1.5 miles east) and St. Luke’s Hospital (5.6 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Silent Pool and Leith Hill.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The product your specification calls for
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
