Commercial clients in Outwood
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
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.
Mastic sealing in Outwood, done properly
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve draughts at frames across a block and open joints in brickwork or panels, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Outwood is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural conversions near places like Outwood often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Questions about Outwood
Is Hays Bridge Business Park, near Outwood, within your area?
Yes, sites like Hays Bridge Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Outwood. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near Salfords station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Is Outwood in your area?
Yes. Outwood is in our area and the rest of Surrey. To discuss a job, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, 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 any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs in and around smaller places like Outwood are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.

External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Mastic sealing around Outwood: what changes locally
Outwood is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Outwood is about 21 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St John the Baptist, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. If your remit includes a building such as Oakwood School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Property owners at sites such as Hays Bridge Business Park (2 miles east of Outwood) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Outwood is about 3 miles east of Horley, in Surrey. Anywhere in RH1, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, large and small. We also cover London, around 21 miles from Outwood.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout RH1, whatever the building. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Miller's Lane, Bellwether Lane and Scott's Hill. If your building is just outside Outwood, we cover Smallfield (1 mile south), Horley (3 miles west), Burstow (3 miles south), Fernhill (3 miles south-west) and Keeper's Corner (3 miles south). Further afield, our area takes in Epsom (12 miles north-west), Redhill (4 miles north-west), Ewell (13 miles north-west), Reigate (5 miles north-west), Caterham (7 miles north) and Dorking (10 miles west).
Landmarks near Outwood
Around Outwood, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Castle pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Salfords station, roughly 2.2 miles west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Effingham Park Motor Museum (3.7 miles south) and East Surrey Hospital (2.9 miles north-west). Not far away are Bay Pond and Hedgecourt Lake.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Converted and older buildings near places like Outwood tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
