Mastic sealing in Send: the local picture
Send is about 24 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
Student blocks close to universities like University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus, 4.1 miles to the south-west of Send, are easiest to work on between tenancies. For agents with blocks near Clandon station, 2.2 miles south-east of Send, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Send is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. Looking for mastic sealing in Send? We can help, as we do across Surrey. Send is one of 379 places we cover in Surrey. Sites around Reading have their own page, about 22 miles away.

If you have draughts at frames across a block and failed external movement joints, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Send, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Send
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
For owners of several units at places like Merrow Business Park, 2.2 miles to the south of Send, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Why act early in Send
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Public liability insurance in place
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Several jobs near Send can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Send, such as Merrow Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Send, Merrow Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you take on a block within reach of Clandon station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
