How we handle mastic sealing in Selling
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. The enquiries we see most involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and open joints in brickwork or panels, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Selling from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For owners with a single building near Selling, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Around Selling, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

What we are called out for in Selling
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- No planned programme for sealant
- Failed external movement joints
For a school such as Selling Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Common questions from Selling clients
We manage a building near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Selling?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Is Selling in your area?
Yes. We cover Selling, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to get started.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For a building around Selling, tell us how to find it and who will meet us.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Blocks and managed buildings in Selling
At about 47 miles from central London, Selling is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Selling is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
If you look after a block within reach of Selling station, 0.8 miles north-east of Selling, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Historic properties like Belmont House and Gardens, 3.4 miles west of Selling, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
