How we handle mastic sealing in Sayers Common
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. 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. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and window mastic that has split and shrunk. For commercial sealant work in Sayers Common, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For owners with a single building near Sayers Common, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode

Sayers Common: questions and answers
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Hassocks station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you work at a site such as Kings Business Centre, by Sayers Common?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Sayers Common, Kings Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
For owners and agents in Sayers Common
Rainfall across the South East, Sayers Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Sayers Common lies roughly 38 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
With historic buildings such as Ockenden Manor, 4.6 miles to the north-east of Sayers Common, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Sayers Common should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For agents with blocks near Hassocks station, which lies south-east of Sayers Common, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. For a school such as Albourne CofE Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. For buildings around smaller places like Sayers Common, 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. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
