What we are called out for in Loxwood
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Site managers at schools like Loxwood Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Mastic sealing in Loxwood, done properly
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. 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. Site teams most often ask us about old repairs sealed over failed mastic and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. For commercial sealant work in Loxwood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Loxwood, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Loxwood. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Blocks and managed buildings in Loxwood
Central London is about 34 miles from Loxwood. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Loxwood sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Trustees of buildings like St John the Baptist can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
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.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
