Your questions answered
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Pitland Street?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Pitland Street too far out for you?
Not at all. Pitland Street is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Does weather matter for sealant 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. Internal work is far less affected.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
About our mastic sealing in Pitland Street
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and complaints coming in block by block. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Pitland Street tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Pitland Street tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Work we carry out in Surrey comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Pitland Street
Pitland Street is about 26 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Pitland Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
If your remit includes a building such as Belmont Prep School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. For agents with blocks near Gomshall station (2.7 miles north-west of Pitland Street), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Older community buildings, St Mary The Virgins Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
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
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
