How we handle mastic sealing in Beech Hill
Treatment starts with a proper look: 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. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting in round frames after rain and worn sealant at communal door frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Beech Hill first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Beech Hill tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.

When to call us in Beech Hill
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Failed external movement joints
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Complaints coming in block by block
For owners of several units at places like Lambs Farm Business Park, 1.2 miles north-east of Beech Hill, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Questions we are asked in Beech Hill
Is Lambs Farm Business Park, near Beech Hill, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Beech Hill, Lambs Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Beech Hill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Beech Hill is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
What happens if it’s left?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. For buildings around smaller places like Beech Hill, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Blocks and managed buildings in Beech Hill
Rainfall across the South East, Beech Hill included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 40 miles from central London, Beech Hill is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Buildings close to stations like Mortimer station, 1.8 miles to the west of Beech Hill, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Schools and community buildings such as Lambs Lane Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
