About our mastic sealing in Little London
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Most enquiries involve occupiers reporting cold air round windows and open joints in brickwork or panels, across balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Little London, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Little London, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Little London
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
With historic buildings such as Chilworth Manor (2.5 miles west of Little London) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Little London should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For a building around Little London, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

Related advice
For owners and agents in Little London
Little London is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. At about 26 miles from central London, Little London is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Older community buildings, Old St Peter and St Paul's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Schools and community buildings such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Converted and older buildings near places like Little London tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Common questions from Little London clients
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Little London?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Little London off your patch?
No. Places such as Little London are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
