How we handle mastic sealing in Bray Wick
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and water getting in round frames after rain. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Bray Wick, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like Bray Wick 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.

Do you need mastic sealing in Bray Wick?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- No planned programme for sealant
Landlords with units on estates such as Priors Way Industrial Estate, less than half a mile west of Bray Wick, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Why deal with it now?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Around Bray Wick, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

FAQs: Bray Wick
Do you work in occupied care homes around Bray Wick?

Is Bray Wick off your patch?
No. Places such as Bray Wick are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
