Cost factors for mastic joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Mastic sealing in Bury's Bank
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you are dealing with failed external movement joints and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bury's Bank from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Bury's Bank, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

Block-wide mastic in Bury's Bank
Bury's Bank lies roughly 52 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Bury's Bank is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Newbury Racecourse station, 1.2 miles to the north-west of Bury's Bank, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Property owners at sites such as New Greenham Business Park (0.8 miles south-east of Bury's Bank) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Schools and community buildings such as The Willows Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Bury's Bank is about 2 miles south-east of Newbury, in West Berkshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Bury's Bank. We work across 140 places in West Berkshire. Reading is covered too, around 14 miles from Bury's Bank.

Questions we’re asked in Bury's Bank
Will you take on a block within reach of Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Bury's Bank too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Our process
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 the next one starts. If others near Bury's Bank need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bury's Bank, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
