About our mastic sealing in Ash
For blocks and buildings in Ash and across Surrey, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draughts at frames across a block, we can help, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ash? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Ash mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

For owners and agents in Ash
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. The 2 miles around Ash include three care or nursing homes. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
For agents with blocks near Ash station, which lies north-east of Ash, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Schools and community buildings such as Walsh CofE Junior School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Ash is about 2 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. We send applicators to Ash for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Ash is one of 379 places in Surrey on our list. Sites around Reading have their own page, roughly 18 miles from Ash.
Anyone looking for mastic sealing in GU12 and GU10 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. If your site is on Ash Church Road, Square Field Way and Littlefield Close or close by, send details and we’ll quote for mastic joints.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a job in Ash, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. For buildings in places like Ash, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

FAQs: Ash
Do you cover business parks and estates near Ash, such as Belle Vue Enterprise Centre?
Yes. Our area takes in Ash and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Belle Vue Enterprise Centre included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you work in a care home in Ash without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
What we’re called out for in Ash
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Peter can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they’ll work around occupants
