About our mastic sealing in Trotton
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Trotton tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around smaller places like Trotton, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around Trotton can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.

Other services in Trotton
Block-wide mastic in Trotton
Trotton 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 south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Trotton is about 46 miles from central London. 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.
Historic properties like Cowdray House, 3.2 miles east of Trotton, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. For owners of several units at places like Midhurst Business Centre, 2.5 miles to the east of Trotton, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Older community buildings, St George's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Trotton is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Across the GU31 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page (18 miles or so).

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Questions about Trotton
Is a smaller place like Trotton outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Trotton?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
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.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Building owners, agents and FMs in Trotton
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Trotton. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
