Mastic sealing in Pease Pottage
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have no planned programme for sealant and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Pease Pottage it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Places the size of Pease Pottage normally have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Mastic sealing around Pease Pottage: what changes locally
Pease Pottage is part of, or right next to, Crawley, which was built as a planned town. Phased building means whole estates with frames of a similar vintage, ideal for a planned mastic programme. Rainfall across the South East, Pease Pottage included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Buildings close to stations like Crawley station, 2 miles north of Pease Pottage, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Older buildings near Pease Pottage, from historic houses such as Tyes Place, 3.4 miles to the south of Pease Pottage, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Pease Pottage is about 2 miles south of Crawley, in West Sussex. Anywhere in RH11, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, Pease Pottage among them.

How the job changes by surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Pease Pottage need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.

- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.

Advice
Signs you need mastic sealing in Pease Pottage
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed external movement joints
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draughts at frames across a block
For a school such as Discovery New School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
