Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent and easier to manage.
How we handle mastic sealing in Little London
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Little London carry our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and movement joints with sealant missing, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Little London from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Little London, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Planned mastic for Little London portfolios
Little London is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 31 miles from central London, Little London is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Horsted Keynes Business Park, 2.3 miles to the east of Little London, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Older community buildings, St Peter's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For a school such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Around Little London
We work on buildings around The Gardeners Arms. For rail, the closest station is Balcombe station, roughly 2.3 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Princess Royal Hospital (4.6 miles south) and Waterbury Castle (2.5 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Tilgate Lake and Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Little London are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
