- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Mastic sealing in Rowly, done properly
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and no planned programme for sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Rowly, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Rowly, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Chilworth station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is Manfield Park Industrial Estate, near Rowly, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Rowly, Manfield Park Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. For buildings around smaller places like Rowly, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
For owners and agents in Rowly
Rainfall across the South East, Rowly included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 29 miles from Rowly. 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.
Historic properties like Chilworth Manor (4.3 miles north of Rowly) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Property owners at sites such as Manfield Park Industrial Estate (to the south of Rowly) can have mastic renewed between lettings. For a school such as Glebelands School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
