Mastic sealing in Buckinghamshire: how it works

For blocks and buildings across Buckinghamshire, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. The enquiries we see most involve open joints in brickwork or panels and draught complaints from residents or tenants, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells.

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work.

A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

What you will pay

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Mastic sealing across Buckinghamshire: the area picture

For owners with several buildings in Buckinghamshire, grouping mastic work into one programme saves time. We work to your notice and access plan, one building at a time.

The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and we cover Buckinghamshire along with the rest of the region.

Aylesbury: Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Property owners at sites such as Cambridge Close Retail Park (under half a mile north-east of Aylesbury) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Cost factors for mastic joints

What shapes the price:

Whether the work must be split into stages
Which sealant the job calls for
Removal of failed or old sealant
The total length or number of joints

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What we need to price the job

A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

The site address and postcode
Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
When you need the work done

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.

Why deal with it now?

Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing.

General trades versus 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.

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Signs you need mastic sealing

Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.

Things that typically lead to an enquiry:

A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Water getting in round frames after rain
Complaints coming in block by block

Building owners, agents and FMs in Buckinghamshire

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Questions about Buckinghamshire

How many days will you need on site?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

Is mastic sealing guaranteed?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

What will the job cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.

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 if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

How do you choose the sealant?

A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?

Yes. 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.
