Irons Bottom: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Fontigarry Farm Business Park, by Irons Bottom?
Yes. Our area takes in Irons Bottom and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Fontigarry Farm Business Park included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Irons Bottom too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Older rural buildings around Irons Bottom move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. If others near Irons Bottom need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Mastic sealing in Irons Bottom: the local picture
Irons Bottom sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Irons Bottom lies roughly 21 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Landlords with units on estates such as Fontigarry Farm Business Park (to the south-east of Irons Bottom) 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 Salfords station, 2.1 miles east of Irons Bottom, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Irons Bottom is about 2 miles south of Reigate, in Surrey. Across the RH2 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

What else we do in Irons Bottom
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Irons Bottom
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

- External wall and movement joints

What we’re called out for in Irons Bottom
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed external movement joints
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- No planned programme for sealant
Site managers at schools like Burys Court School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
