About our mastic sealing in Ballinger Common
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about brittle perimeter mastic across a building and worn sealant at communal door frames, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ballinger Common from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For owners with a single building near Ballinger Common, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

For owners and agents in Ballinger Common
Ballinger Common is about 29 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Rainfall across the South East, Ballinger Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If your remit includes a building such as Lee Common Church of England School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. With historic buildings such as Cholesbury Manor House, 2.6 miles north-east of Ballinger Common, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ballinger Common should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For agents with blocks near Great Missenden station (1.7 miles south-west of Ballinger Common), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Commercial clients in Ballinger Common
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Log resealing dates block by block
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Ballinger Common, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Ballinger Common
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Converted and older buildings near places like Ballinger Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Common questions from Ballinger Common clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ballinger Common portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Can you quote for a block close to Great Missenden station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Do you cover Ballinger Common?
Yes. Ballinger Common falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
