Mastic sealing in Reigate
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Mastic sealing in Reigate: the local picture
Reigate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. Reigate is about 19 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Property owners at sites such as Chesterfield Business Park (to the west of Reigate) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Site managers at schools like Reigate Priory Community Junior School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Reigate is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. Any commercial site in Reigate is covered. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, Reigate among them. For work in that direction, see our London page.
If you need mastic sealing in RH2 and RH1, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Among the streets we cover are High Street, London Road and Church Road. With the A25 and A217 nearby, Reigate is easy to get to with materials and equipment. Just outside Reigate, we also work in South Park (1 mile south), Margery (2 miles north), Mogador (2 miles north-west), Sidlow (2 miles south) and Irons Bottom (2 miles south).

Mastic sealing in Reigate, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Reigate tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Housing associations in towns like Reigate often run planned maintenance by estate or by block. Work can move block by block, with you handling resident notices.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Common problems we fix in Reigate
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Your questions answered
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Reigate station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Reigate portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Do you work in Reigate?
Yes. We take on work across Reigate, and the same phone number covers every area.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. For businesses and landlords in Reigate, a tidy, sound joint also matters for appearance. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
