How we handle mastic sealing in Aston
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and complaints coming in block by block. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Aston tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Aston often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common questions from Aston clients
We manage a building near Henley-On-Thames station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Aston too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Aston are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.

Doing it in-house
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. For buildings around smaller places like Aston, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Aston may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
