How we handle mastic sealing in Mannings Heath
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Most enquiries involve complaints coming in block by block and failed external movement joints, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Mannings Heath, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like Mannings Heath often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from Mannings Heath clients
Can you work in a care home near Mannings Heath with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Horsham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Older rural buildings around Mannings Heath 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.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What you get with us
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product and we choose accordingly.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Mannings Heath can form part of a wider programme across West Sussex.
