About our mastic sealing in Amersham
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Whoever orders the work in Amersham, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For housing associations with stock in a town such as Amersham, mastic is easiest to handle as a planned programme. Residents are notified through the association, and work moves building to building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Amersham are worth mentioning when you send details. Industrial and business units typically have yard or car park space.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Corinium Industrial Estate, close to Amersham?
Yes, sites like Corinium Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Amersham. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Amersham portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
For owners and agents in Amersham
Amersham lies roughly 25 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Amersham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
With historic buildings such as Chenies Manor House (3 miles east of Amersham) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Amersham should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For owners of several units at places like Corinium Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles to the east of Amersham, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Student blocks close to universities like Buckinghamshire New University, 1.9 miles west of Amersham, are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Why deal with it now?
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. For businesses and landlords in Amersham, a tidy, sound joint also matters for appearance. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
