In a town such as Horley, buildings managed by agents and landlords range from flats over shops to small blocks and offices. Window and door perimeters, external joints and communal areas all need their mastic renewed from time to time.

FAQs: Horley
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Horley?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
We manage a building near Horley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. In Horley, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. After a leak, there’s drying, repairs and redecoration on top.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Mastic sealing in Horley: the local picture
Central London is about 22 miles from Horley. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Horley 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.
Landlords with units on estates such as Gatwick Business Park, 1.3 miles south-west of Horley, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Horley station (to the south-east of Horley) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If your remit includes a building such as Horley Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
