Mastic sealing for Salfords sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

About our mastic sealing in Salfords

Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts at frames across a block, we can help, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Most enquiries from Salfords start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

Rural conversions near places like Salfords often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Our process

Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Salfords can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
  2. A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
  3. We strip out the old sealant.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. Buildings are completed in turn.

Getting the site ready

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Quotes

A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Advice

What the job involves on each surface

Commercial and mixed-use buildings

Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.

Communal areas

Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.

What we’re called out for in Salfords

Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.

Things that normally lead to an enquiry:

  • No planned programme for sealant
  • Draught complaints from residents or tenants
  • Water getting in round frames after rain
  • Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant

Buildings close to stations like Salfords station, less than half a mile east of Salfords, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

What to look for in a quote

  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
  • Who will actually carry out the work
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents
  • Proof of insurance

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

For managing agents and facilities managers

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

For owners and agents in Salfords

Salfords lies roughly 21 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.

For a school such as Salfords Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Landlords with units on estates such as Salbrook Road Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the east of Salfords, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Salfords is about 2 miles north of Horley, in Surrey. We cover Salfords and the rest of Surrey, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover London, around 21 miles from Salfords.

Your questions answered

Is a smaller place like Salfords outside your area?

No. Places such as Salfords are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Does your area include sites such as Salbrook Road Industrial Estate, near Salfords?

Yes, sites like Salbrook Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Salfords. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

How long does a typical visit take?

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

How much does the work cost?

That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.

What about access for upper-floor joints?

It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.

Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?

Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.

When to bring in a specialist

Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Why deal with it now?

Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Halls, stores and units around places like Salfords may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
