About our mastic sealing in Ashey
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. The enquiries we see most involve cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and complaints coming in block by block, across communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ashey, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Ashey, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Common problems we fix in Ashey
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Look out for the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Landlords with units on estates such as Ryde Business Park, 1.8 miles to the north-east of Ashey, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Common questions from Ashey clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Ashey, such as Ryde Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Ashey and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ryde Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Ashey outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ashey
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Around Ashey, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- One contact handling all your sites
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
Looking after buildings in and around Ashey

The 2 miles around Ashey include two care or nursing homes. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Smallbrook Junction station, 1.5 miles north-east of Ashey, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Site managers at schools like Ryde Academy can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
