How we handle mastic sealing in Shere
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and open joints in brickwork or panels. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shere first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Shere, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to Gomshall station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Shere portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If others near Shere need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Looking after buildings in and around Shere
At about 25 miles from central London, Shere is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. 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.
If you look after a block within reach of Gomshall station (1.1 miles east of Shere), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For a school such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Shere is about 5 miles east of Guildford, in Surrey. Our applicators travel to Shere for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 379 places across Surrey fall within our area, Shere among them. For work in that direction, see our London page (25 miles or so).
Business premises anywhere in GU5 are within our area. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Lower Street, Orchard Road and Shere Lane. Close to Shere, our area also takes in Gomshall (1 mile east), Albury Heath (1 mile south-west), Little London (1 mile south-west), Albury (1 mile west) and Abinger Hammer (1 mile east). Bigger towns within reach include Guildford (5 miles west), Woking (8 miles north-west), Camberley (14 miles north-west), Epsom (12 miles north-east), Horley (13 miles east) and Redhill (13 miles east).
Around Shere
We work on buildings around Colekitchen Down and The White Horse Public House, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Gomshall station, roughly 1.1 miles east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Shere Museum (under half a mile east) and Abinger Castle (2.8 miles south-east). The countryside around Shere includes Silent Pool and St Martha's Hill.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Shere
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Look out for the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Damp patches beside frames
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you’re responsible for a building such as The Church of St James, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What site paperwork they can supply

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Why act early in Shere
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Halls, stores and units around places like Shere may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
