Mastic sealing in Pulborough, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Site teams most often ask us about the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Pulborough, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Converted and older buildings in and around Pulborough often put modern windows into old walls. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Work in places the size of Pulborough is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Do you need mastic sealing in Pulborough?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Site managers at schools like St Mary's Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Station Approach Industrial Estate, close to Pulborough?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Pulborough, Station Approach Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
We manage a building near Pulborough station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. For buildings in places like Pulborough, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What else we do in Pulborough
For owners and agents in Pulborough
At about 41 miles from central London, Pulborough is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier 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.
Older community buildings, The Parish Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. With historic buildings such as Old Place Manor, 0.4 miles west of Pulborough, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Pulborough should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
