Mastic sealing in Buckingham, done properly
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. 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. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Buckingham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Older buildings in towns like Buckingham have often had replacement windows fitted at different times, so mastic around them can be of mixed age and quality. A look at the whole building shows which joints need doing now.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. In Buckingham, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Looking after buildings in and around Buckingham
Rainfall across the South East, Buckingham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. The 2 miles around Buckingham include two care or nursing homes. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Older community buildings, St Peter and St Paul among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Schools and community buildings such as George Grenville Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Older buildings near Buckingham, from historic houses such as Stowe House, 2.8 miles to the north-west of Buckingham, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Buckingham is about 10 miles west of Milton Keynes, in Buckinghamshire. Our applicators travel to Buckingham for work on mastic joints. Our Buckinghamshire coverage takes in 308 places. Sites around Oxford have their own page, about 20 miles away.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout MK18, whatever the building. If your site is on Market Square, Market Hill and High Street or close by, we can quote for mastic joints. Buckingham sits on or close to the A421 and A422, useful when we plan access and materials.

Questions we are asked in Buckingham
Will you work in a care home in Buckingham without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Tingewick Road Industrial Estate, by Buckingham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Buckingham, Tingewick Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually 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.

What else we do in Buckingham
What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
Quoting for work in Buckingham
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a town like Buckingham, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit, with one quote covering them. Tell us when the building is open and we will plan to suit.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
