Mastic sealing in Woodmancote
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Woodmancote from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Woodmancote, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Older rural buildings around Woodmancote move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Blocks and managed buildings in Woodmancote
Central London is about 41 miles from Woodmancote. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Hassocks station (4.3 miles east of Woodmancote) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. For owners of several units at places like Henfield Business Park, 0.9 miles west of Woodmancote, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If you’re responsible for a building such as The Parish Church of St Peter, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Your questions answered
Is Woodmancote too far out for you?
Not at all. Woodmancote is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Henfield Business Park, near Woodmancote?
Yes. We cover Woodmancote and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Henfield Business Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
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.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
