How we handle mastic sealing in Newtimber
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. Site teams most often ask us about draughts at frames across a block and water getting in round frames after rain, across communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Newtimber tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Newtimber often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For owners and agents in Newtimber
Newtimber is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 41 miles from Newtimber. 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.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Parish Church of St John Evangelist 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 Aviation Trading Estate, which lies north-west of Newtimber, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Buildings close to stations like Hassocks station (2.4 miles north-east of Newtimber) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

FAQs: Newtimber
We manage a building near Hassocks station. Can you help?

Will you take on work at estates like Aviation Trading Estate, close to Newtimber?

Yes. Newtimber is in our area. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Quoting for work in Newtimber
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
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 fixed quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Our quote form is another easy route.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. For buildings around smaller places like Newtimber, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
