Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. For buildings in places like Chilton, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Mastic sealing in Chilton, done properly
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and worn sealant at communal door frames, across balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Chilton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Chilton mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor

How a job runs

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
