Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Rural sites near Burdrop may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
About our mastic sealing in Burdrop
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Burdrop from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For buildings around smaller places like Burdrop, we group work so one trip covers it. 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.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.

What else we do in Burdrop
Do you need mastic sealing in Burdrop?
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
If you own or manage units on a site such as Brailes Industrial Estate, 2.5 miles to the west of Burdrop, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Who will actually carry out the work
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Converted and older buildings near places like Burdrop tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
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 rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Fully insured
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

Questions about Burdrop
Can you work at a site such as Brailes Industrial Estate, by Burdrop?
Yes, sites like Brailes Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Burdrop. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Burdrop?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Burdrop
At about 70 miles from central London, Burdrop is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Burdrop included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If your remit includes a building such as Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. With historic buildings such as Broughton Castle, 3.8 miles to the east of Burdrop, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Burdrop should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
