- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

About our mastic sealing in Norton
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. For commercial sealant work in Norton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Norton, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

More services for Norton
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and spreads the work.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Questions we are asked in Norton
Can you quote for a block close to Bishopstone (Sussex) station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you work in a care home in Norton without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Do you work in Norton?
Yes. We cover Norton. To discuss a job, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Quoting for work in Norton
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Norton can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
