That way the right products come on the day.

How we handle mastic sealing in Maplehurst
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Whoever orders the work in Maplehurst, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Maplehurst, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

Other services in Maplehurst
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common questions from Maplehurst clients
Can you work at a site such as Brook Farm Business Park, by Maplehurst?
Yes. Our area takes in Maplehurst and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Brook Farm Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Maplehurst too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Maplehurst
Maplehurst sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Maplehurst is about 35 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
For a school such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Parish Church of St Andrew are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For owners of several units at places like Brook Farm Business Park, which lies south-east of Maplehurst, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Maplehurst is about 4 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Maplehurst, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme.

What’s near Maplehurst

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
