How we handle mastic sealing in Newdigate
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and a mix of products and colours from past repairs. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Newdigate it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural conversions near places like Newdigate 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Planned mastic for Newdigate portfolios
Rainfall across the South East, Newdigate included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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. Central London is about 24 miles from Newdigate. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Buildings close to stations like Holmwood station, 1.7 miles to the north-west of Newdigate, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Trustees of buildings like Church of St Peter can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If your remit includes a building such as Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Older rural buildings around Newdigate move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Newdigate: questions and answers
Is Newdigate too far out for you?
Not at all. Newdigate is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Holmwood station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. If others near Newdigate need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
