Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Woldingham
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve communal area joints that look neglected and draught complaints from residents or tenants, across communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Woldingham first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Woldingham, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Woldingham as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions we are asked in Woldingham
Is Woldingham too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Woldingham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What we are called out for in Woldingham
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Failed external movement joints
If you look after a block within reach of Woldingham station, which lies west of Woldingham, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Before you book anyone
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Woldingham

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Woldingham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Planned mastic for Woldingham portfolios
At about 15 miles from central London, Woldingham is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Woldingham 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 the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Property owners at sites such as Church Walk Shopping Centre, 2 miles west of Woldingham, can have mastic renewed between lettings. With historic buildings such as Titsey Place (to the east of Woldingham) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Woldingham should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
