Lickfold: questions and answers
We manage a building near Haslemere station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Lickfold off your patch?
Not at all. Lickfold is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Mastic sealing in Lickfold, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms.

Blocks and managed buildings in Lickfold
Rainfall across the South East, Lickfold included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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. At about 41 miles from central London, Lickfold is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Older buildings near Lickfold, from historic houses such as Cowdray House, 3.4 miles to the south-west of Lickfold, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Trustees of buildings like The Parish Church of St Lawrence can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

When to call us in Lickfold
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Property owners at sites such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate (1.2 miles north-west of Lickfold) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Lickfold
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Lickfold may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
