Mastic sealing in Sharpthorne
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. The enquiries we see most involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and worn sealant at communal door frames, on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sharpthorne first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Sharpthorne, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Older rural buildings around Sharpthorne move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Sharpthorne
Does your area include sites such as Hangdown Mead Business Park, near Sharpthorne?
Yes. We cover Sharpthorne and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hangdown Mead Business Park. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
We manage a building near East Grinstead station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
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.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
What affects the price in Sharpthorne
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Mastic sealing around Sharpthorne: points for this area
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 29 miles from Sharpthorne. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
For owners of several units at places like Hangdown Mead Business Park, which lies south-east of Sharpthorne, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Site managers at schools like West Hoathly CofE Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Historic properties like Priest House (0.5 miles west of Sharpthorne) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
