About our mastic sealing in South Ambersham
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have draughts at frames across a block and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in South Ambersham 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.
For owners with a single building near South Ambersham, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around South Ambersham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Common questions from South Ambersham clients
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in South Ambersham?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like South Ambersham outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Looking after buildings in and around South Ambersham
South Ambersham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 44 miles from central London, South Ambersham is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St James, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Schools and community buildings such as Midhurst Rother College need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. For owners of several units at places like Holmbush Industrial Estate, which lies west of South Ambersham, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
