About our mastic sealing in Broughton
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are communal area joints that look neglected and draughts at frames across a block. Most enquiries from Broughton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Broughton mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Broughton can form part of a wider programme across Buckinghamshire.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Broughton. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Questions we are asked in Broughton
Can you quote for a block close to Aylesbury station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Broughton too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally 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 do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Broughton need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.

Common problems we fix in Broughton
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:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For a school such as Bierton Church of England Combined School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Proof of insurance
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- The named product and why it was chosen
