About our mastic sealing in Stoughton
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and failed external movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Stoughton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as Stoughton, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Stoughton clients
Does your area include sites such as Cathedral Hill Industrial Estate, near Stoughton?
Yes, sites like Cathedral Hill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Stoughton. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote for a block close to Guildford station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

What else we do in Stoughton
When to call us in Stoughton
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Student blocks close to universities like University of Surrey, 0.6 miles to the south-west of Stoughton, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Several jobs near Stoughton can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Get a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
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. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
What affects the price in Stoughton
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
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.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Blocks and managed buildings in Stoughton
Central London is about 27 miles from Stoughton. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Stoughton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Older community buildings, Emmanuel Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If your remit includes a building such as Stoughton Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
