What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:

- The type of building and who uses it

- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Mastic sealing in Worth Abbey
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Worth Abbey, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Worth Abbey 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. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from Worth Abbey clients
Is Worth Abbey too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Three Bridges station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Frames, entrances and external joints in Worth Abbey
Worth Abbey is about 28 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Worth Abbey sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Older buildings near Worth Abbey, from historic houses such as Gravetye Manor, 2.5 miles to the east of Worth Abbey, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. If you own or manage units on a site such as Rowfant Business Centre, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Worth Abbey, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Trustees of buildings like Abbey Church of Our Lady Help of Christians can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Older rural buildings around Worth Abbey 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.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Worth Abbey are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
