Questions about Southwater
Can you work at a site such as Southwater Business Park, by Southwater?
Yes. We cover Southwater and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Southwater Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Christs Hospital station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
How we handle mastic sealing in Southwater
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. 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, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you have water getting in round frames after rain and failed external movement joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Southwater tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Southwater often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Several jobs near Southwater can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Mastic sealing around Southwater: how the place shapes the job
At about 34 miles from central London, Southwater is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
Schools and community buildings such as Southwater Infant Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you look after a block within reach of Christs Hospital station, 1.9 miles north-west of Southwater, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you are responsible for a building such as Holy Innocents Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Southwater is about 3 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. Anywhere in RH13, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

What else we do in Southwater
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
