Mastic sealing in Newpound Common
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and complaints coming in block by block. For commercial sealant work in Newpound Common, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Newpound Common, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

For owners and agents in Newpound Common
Newpound Common 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 the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Newpound Common is about 37 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Site managers at schools like Wisborough Green Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Trustees of buildings like The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Newpound Common is about 8 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Across the RH14 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Newpound Common
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Billingshurst station (2.1 miles south-east of Newpound Common) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Newpound Common. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Converted and older buildings near places like Newpound Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- CHAS accredited

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Newpound Common outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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 cover business parks and estates near Newpound Common, such as Billingshurst Trade Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Newpound Common, Billingshurst Trade Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Newpound Common may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Quotes
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Advice
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
