Mastic sealing across Tatsfield

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Mastic sealing in Tatsfield

Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you have open joints in brickwork or panels and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Tatsfield, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Tatsfield tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Tatsfield as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When something else is needed

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:

  • Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
  • Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
  • Masonry that has broken away beside the joint

If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work in Tatsfield

  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • Communal entrances and stairwells
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks

What sets the cost

Before we quote, we look at:

  • The product specified
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Phasing around occupants

There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Sending details for a quote

However big the job, the same details help:

  • Any specification or named product
  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

When to bring in a specialist

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

After the work

After handover, these steps help:

  • Reduce knocks to communal area joints
  • Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
  • Start inspections with the most exposed faces
  • Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front

Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.

Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.

On site: what to expect

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building around Tatsfield, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
  2. The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
  3. Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
  4. Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
  5. New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
  6. We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Different surfaces, different methods

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.

Estate-wide resealing programmes

An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.

Your questions answered

Can you work at a site such as Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate, by Tatsfield?

Yes. We cover Tatsfield and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.

Will you take on a block within reach of Oxted station?

Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.

Do you guarantee the mastic work?

Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.

How do you handle work on occupied blocks?

We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.

Does the weather affect the work?

It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

How long does a job like this take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

For owners and agents in Tatsfield

At about 15 miles from central London, Tatsfield is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Tatsfield included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.

For owners of several units at places like Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate, 1.8 miles to the north of Tatsfield, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If your remit includes a building such as Charles Darwin School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Older buildings near Tatsfield, from historic houses such as Titsey Place (to the south-west of Tatsfield) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Tatsfield is about 5 miles east of Caterham, in Surrey. Tatsfield sits inside our coverage and the rest of Surrey, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.
