Mastic sealing in Ockley
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

About our mastic sealing in Ockley
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is a mix of products and colours from past repairs and communal area joints that look neglected. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ockley tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around smaller places like Ockley, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Converted and older buildings near places like Ockley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, 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.

For owners and agents in Ockley
At about 27 miles from central London, Ockley is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Trustees of buildings like St John's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Ockley station, 1.2 miles east of Ockley, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Ockley is about 6 miles north of Horsham, in Surrey. Across the RH5 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including Ockley. We also cover Brighton, some 24 miles away.
If you need mastic sealing in RH5, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Prideaux Gardens, Stane Street and Friday Street are within our area. Just outside Ockley, we also work in Paynes Green (1 mile south), Capel (2 miles east), Forest Green (2 miles north-west), Coldharbour (2 miles north) and Kingsfold (3 miles south-east). Further afield, our area takes in Guildford (11 miles north-west), Woking (15 miles north-west), Epsom (14 miles north), Horley (9 miles east), Redhill (10 miles north-east) and Ewell (15 miles north).

Ockley: questions and answers
Is Ockley too far out for you?
Not at all. Ockley is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
We manage a building near Ockley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
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 do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Commercial clients in Ockley
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Ockley can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Surrey.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Do you need mastic sealing in Ockley?
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Failed external movement joints
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For owners of several units at places like Northlands Business Park (2.6 miles south of Ockley), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
