Questions about Ashley
Our building in Ashley is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you work in a care home in Ashley without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work in Ashley?
Yes. Sites across Ashley are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ashley
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints, and what we are called in for most is old repairs sealed over failed mastic and damp patches beside frames. Most enquiries from Ashley start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Ashley mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Blocks and managed buildings in Ashley
Ashley lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. There are five care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Ashley. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Older community buildings, St. Peter's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Landlords with units on estates such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles south-west of Ashley, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Ashley need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the job changes by surface

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
