Why act early in North Gorley
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like North Gorley. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Mastic sealing in North Gorley, done properly
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. Site teams most often ask us about repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and window mastic that has split and shrunk, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Most enquiries from North Gorley start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around smaller places like North Gorley, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Blocks and managed buildings in North Gorley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of the Holy Ascension, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Historic properties like Breamore House, 4.5 miles north of North Gorley, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

Do you need mastic sealing in North Gorley?
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
For a school such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What site paperwork they can supply
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs in and around smaller places like North Gorley are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
