Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Converted and older buildings near places like Ashwell End tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Looking after buildings in and around Ashwell End
Central London is about 38 miles from Ashwell End. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If your remit includes a building such as Ashwell Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. With historic buildings such as Hinxworth Place, 0.9 miles west of Ashwell End, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ashwell End should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you are responsible for a building such as St Mary's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Ashwell End: questions and answers
We manage a building near Ashwell & Morden station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Ashwell End too far out for you?
Not at all. Ashwell End is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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 if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.

- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
