Mastic sealing in Burroughs Grove, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Burroughs Grove and across Buckinghamshire, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you are dealing with estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Burroughs Grove, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Burroughs Grove 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. For buildings around smaller places like Burroughs Grove, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. 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 Burroughs Grove
Burroughs Grove sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 29 miles from central London, Burroughs Grove is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Student blocks close to universities like Buckinghamshire New University (Wycombe Campus), 2.5 miles to the north of Burroughs Grove, are easiest to work on between tenancies. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Marlow station (to the south of Burroughs Grove) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Burroughs Grove is about 1 mile north of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. Burroughs Grove sits inside our coverage and the rest of Buckinghamshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Burroughs Grove
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
For owners of several units at places like Globe Business Park (1.4 miles south of Burroughs Grove), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Burroughs Grove need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
