Common problems we fix in Church Hanborough
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Failed external movement joints
- Damp patches beside frames
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Mastic sealing in Church Hanborough
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and communal area joints that look neglected, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Church Hanborough, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Church Hanborough tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint

What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Common questions from Church Hanborough clients
Is a smaller place like Church Hanborough outside your area?
No. Places such as Church Hanborough are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Church Hanborough, such as Hanborough Business Park?
Yes, sites like Hanborough Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Church Hanborough. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
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.
