Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Chobham
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is complaints coming in block by block and damp patches beside frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Chobham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Places the size of Chobham usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Mastic sealing around Chobham: what changes locally
Chobham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Chobham is about 24 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Buildings close to stations like Longcross station (to the north of Chobham) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you manage student housing near a university such as Imperial College Silwood Park Campus, which lies north-west of Chobham, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

Questions we’re asked in Chobham
Will you take on work at estates like Chobham Business Centre, close to Chobham?
Yes. We cover Chobham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chobham Business Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Chobham off your patch?
Not at all. Chobham is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Work in places the size of Chobham is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Commercial clients in Chobham
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Chobham
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
For owners of several units at places like Chobham Business Centre, 1.5 miles to the east of Chobham, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Why act early in Chobham
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Small buildings around Chobham suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
