About our mastic sealing in Tutt Hill
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’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and communal area joints that look neglected. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Tutt Hill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Tutt Hill, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by 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.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Halls, stores and units around places like Tutt Hill may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Mastic sealing in Tutt Hill: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Tutt Hill included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. Central London is about 45 miles from Tutt Hill. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Older buildings near Tutt Hill, from historic houses such as Godinton House (1.8 miles south of Tutt Hill) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Landlords with units on estates such as Eurogate Business Park (to the south-east of Tutt Hill) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. If your remit includes a building such as The Hayesbrook School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to Charing station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is a smaller place like Tutt Hill outside your area?
No. Places such as Tutt Hill are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
When it isn’t the sealant
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
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
